EVERYBODY KNOWS

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

It never gets old listening to that version by Cohen. Never. I hope Hardscrabble Farmer likes it.

Concrete Blond — never heard of them before — is also very nice.

Concrete Chick sucks, the cynical tone of Leonard Cohen turns into a weepy weak-ass complaint with horrible gestures and storytelling. It made me want to go cry on the couch.
