Leonard Cohen - Everybody Knows lyrics

And everything is looking brighter

Everything is looking clear

You found another thousand words

Words are gonna make you real

Everybody says, everybody says, everybody says

Just say "Everybody says"

Aint it all just moving forward?

Aint it all just pushing back?

Im so tied to my belongings

Tied to what I should expect

Everybody says, everybody says, everybody says

Just say "Everybody says"

Take the music down and let me out of here

Turn the lights on and let me see your face

Take the music down and get me out of here

Turn the lights on and let me see what youre all about

Because Im all about this, you know I am

But I cant take your cigarettes and your bad taste

All about this! Well maybe Im not, but youve got no sense of humour
