Everybody Knows, Bernie.

A song for yesterday.
Because not enough people believed in tomorrow.

"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"

I kind of figured.
Here is a British group of that period that sounds a lot like Motown, also captures my feelings of yesterday.
