This Leonard Cohen tune was stuck in my head today. Also, more shots of art from the De Young visit. I especially like the third one. So literal.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 Thats 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 Everybody knows Everybody knows that you love me baby Everybody knows that you really do Everybody knows that you've been faithful Ah give or take a night or two Everybody knows you've been discreet But there were so many people you just had to meet Without your clothes And everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows And everybody knows that its now or never Everybody knows that its me or you And everybody knows that you live forever Ah when you've done a line or two Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old black joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows And everybody knows And everybody knows that the plague is coming Everybody knows that its moving fast Everybody knows that the naked man and woman Are just a shining artifact of the past Everybody knows the scene is dead But theres gonna be a meter on your bed That will disclose What everybody knows And everybody knows that you're in trouble Everybody knows what you've been through From the bloody cross on top of calvary To the beach of malibu Everybody knows its coming apart Take one last look at this sacred heart Before it blows And everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows Oh everybody knows, everybody knows Thats how it goes Everybody knows Everybody knows |

I can relate to the 2nd photo. Books & cigs.
Lovely lyrics. Everybody knows. EXCEPT DubyaCo.
Interesting song.
Only everyone doesn't know.
And too few care about anything but themselves.
I read and hear what they are saying, but I see what they are doing.
Everyone knows but few are willing or brave enough to admit it.
"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..."
those words precisely sum up the last 6 or so years for me...
there was a little blurb in the post today from cheney...saying if congress doesn't approve the 100 billion gazillion $ we need to fight the war this year then they don't support our troops...WTF?!?!?...
2 questions:
why hasn't this man been arrested yet, and why the fuck are we still buying this shit???!?!?!?
at least you've got that gorgeous view over there on the upper left coast...it's something, right?
peace, annie...always...
