(Jim Quealy/Gullbergh )

I was doin’ alright, a simple life; I had everything a man could need
Until a friend in deed was assuring me, there was a woman that I had to meet
He set us up like dominoes, so we wouldn’t have to be alone
Then she took off with some son of a gun
And half of all I owned

Everybody knows, all you gotta do
Is take their advice and your Dreams will come true
You need a simple plan to guide you down the road
Just ask anybody; anybody; just ask anybody
Cause Everybody Knows

I saw tonight’s debate down at the corner bar; I’d hung on every word
The talking heads came on TV to tell me what I’d heard
The barmaid and the waitress had yet another spin
Dancing Dan didn’t tip too well
But he got his two cents in

Everybody knows, all you gotta do
Take their advice and the light will shine through
You need a simple plan to guide you down the road
Just ask anybody; anybody; just ask anybody
Cause Everybody Knows

Stock market tips; relationships; the left and right of politics
Remedies for heartache and the flu
The good old days are good and gone, the weatherman is always wrong
The CIA don’t seem to have a clue, but

Everybody knows, all you gotta do
Take their advice, they know better than you
You need a simple plan to guide you down the road
Just ask anybody; anybody; just ask anybody
Cause Everybody Knows
