Hello,
I'm looking for the lyrics for "Everybody Knows" from the motion
picture "Pump Up the Volume". Please post if you have them.

Thanks in advance,
Susan

Do you mean the Leonard Cohen song, from "I'm Your Man?" Don't know the
movie.

EVERYBODY KNOWS

Everybody knows the dice are loaded.
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed.
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost.
Everybody knows that the game is fixed,
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich. That's how it goes.
Everybody knows.

Everybody knows the boat is leaking.
Everybody knows the captain lied.
Everybody got this broken feeling
like their father or their dog just died.
Everybody's talking to their pockets.
Everybody wants a box of chocolates and a long-stem rose.
Everybody knows.

Everybody knows that you love me, baby
Everybody knows that you really do.
Everybody knows that you've been faithful,
Give or take a night or two.
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet without your clothes.
Everybody knows

And Everybody knows that it's now or never.
Everybody knows that it's me or you.
Everybody knows you live forever
When you've done a line or two.
Everybody knows the deal is rotten.
Old Black Joe's still picking cotton for your ribbons and bows.
Everybody knows.

Everybody knows that the Plague is coming.
Everybody knows it's moving fast.
Everybody knows a naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past.
Everybody knows the scene is dead,
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed that will disclose
What everybody knows.

Everybody knows that you're in trouble.
Everybody knows what you've been through.
From the bloody Cross on top of Calvary
To the beach at Malibu.
Everybody knows it's coming apart.
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart before it blows.
Everybody knows.
