Everybody Knows
And What They Don't, They Will Make Up
Everybody knows, my mind is hazy
Everybody knows, I'm just tryn' to keep the pace
Everybody knows that I'm actn kinda crazy
Everybody knows, I'm just tryn to win the race
*
Everybody knows that life's one big gamble
Everybody knows, I roll with my fingers crossed
Everybody knows that my brains a little scrambled
Everybody knows, the good guys, count the cost
*
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody knows that the cards are stacked
Everybody knows that the trap's, spring-loaded
Everybody knows, it's just a matter of fact
*
So, watch your fingers and watch your backs
The path you follow, leads to broken tracks
Mind your manners and mind your toes
Everybody knows - that's just the way it goes
