Lyrics
(Quealy,Gullbergh)
I was doin’ alright, a simple life
Had everything a man could need
Until a friend in deed was assuring me
About 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
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
Saw tonight’s debate down at the corner bar
I hung on every word
Then the talking heads came on TV
To tell me what I’d heard
The barmaid and the waitress
Had yet another spin and
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
