Wish they hadn't seen you walk away And heard me beg you "Stay, please stay" Why, why did we choose this crowded place They all know it, 'cause I show it in my face

They all said it's too good to be true It'll make a fool of you one day I just laughed and said our love was strong But you left me and they all know I was wrong
Everybody knows you're tired of me Everybody knows we're through Though I'm on my own I can't be free Baby, I just live for you
Everybody knows you said goodbye Everybody knows we're through Now they all can see the tears I cry Running down my face for you
Everybody knows you're tired of me Everybody knows we're through Though I'm on my own I can't be free Baby, I just live for you

Everybody Knows Composer(s): Leonard Cohen; Sharon Robinson Performer(s): Leonard Cohen
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows that the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows Everybody knows that the boat is leaking Everybody knows that the captain lied Everybody got this broken feeling Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody 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 Ah 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 And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never Everybody knows that it's me or you And everybody knows that you live forever Ah when you've done a line or two Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming Everybody knows that it's moving fast Everybody knows that the 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
And 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 of Malibu Everybody knows it's coming apart Take one last look at this Sacred Heart Before it blows And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes Everybody knows

"I will pawn you his watch I will pawn you his chain I will pawn you my diamond wedding ring I will wash all your clothes I will scrub all your floors If that will get my baby out of jail Yes warden, if that will get my baby out of jail"
Then I heard the warden say To the lady old and gray "I'll go bring your darlin' baby to your side" 2 iron gates swang wide apart She held her darlin' to her heart She kissed her baby boy and then she died But smiling, she kissed her baby boy and then she died
"I'm not in your town to stay" Said a lady old and gray "I'm just here to get my baby out of jail Yes warden, I'm just here to get my baby out of jail"

Thro' dear Dixie old Hi Henry with his minstrel show was booked to play With his singers grand and one fine band in town he stayed just one day On the billboard fence he advertised that thro' the streets they would parade To be water boy was my greatest joy to the opera house I made There they dressed me up as Uncle Sam and handed me the flag to wave Dixie they played loud to please the crowd then for dear Dixie land we raved
I'm happy when the band plays Dixie It's the land that I love so dear Where the sweet magnolias rare Scent that good old southern air Now for dear Dixie I will cheer Sweet strains of that old grand song Dixie Bring back thoughts of my childhood days I wish I was in Dixie, I do, I do I'm happy when the band plays Dixie
