Leonard Cohen, Canadian Poet and Lyricist aka Song Writer ExtraOrdinaire Takes Command Of The U*UJNS Manhattan Because Everybody Knows He's Not Lying

Captain Leonard Cohen's song 'Everybody Knows'*

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows 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 U*U boat is leaking
Everybody knows 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 U*U love me baby
Everybody knows that U*U really do
Everybody knows that U*U've been faithful. . .
Ah give or take a Knight or two
Everybody knows U*U've been discreet. . .
But there were so many people U*Us just had to meet
Without U*U 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 U*U
And everybody knows that U*U live forever?!!
Ah when U*U've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black joes still pickin' cotton
For U*Ur 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 U*U beds
That will disclose
What everybody knows

And everybody knows that U*U're in trouble
Everybody knows what U*U've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of MalibU*U
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

* as plagU*Urized by U*UJN Naval Chaplain
*The* Rev. Dr. Eric Theodore Cartman III

'Everybody In The Whole Wide U*U World* Knows'. . .


* to say nothing of the *real* world.
