a shining artifact of the past [l.c.]

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 boat is leaking,
everybody knows the captain lied.

everybody knows that you love me, baby,
everybody knows that you really do.

everybody knows the deal is rotten,
everybody knows the scene is dead.

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.

everybody knows, everybody knows,
that’s how it goes – everybody knows.
