Everyone Knows Too Much Anyway


Verse 1: I'm awakened by the racket from a gallery of thieves

Each one proclaims his innocence... Not even he believes

Each one has a true story...It'll never see the light of day

And everyone knows too much anyway


Verse 2: Down in the malls of Babylon they're wearing Chinese shoes

And sipping on Italian spring water, exchanging all-American views

Some say the wind is shifting, some say it blows the same old way

I say everyone knows too much anyway


Verse 3: Now Moses, he stands speechless there before that burning shrub

That told him “Go and tell my people of this overpowering love”

It's a good thing he was speechless cause what he wanted to say

Is everyone knows too much anyway


Verse 4: The Keeper has the muscle and he's got a silver spoon

Which reminds me of the hollow on the dark side of the moon

Well the Keeper likes the darkness just like the sunshine loves the day

And everyone knows too much anyway










Verse 5: The Wise Man asks the seeker “Hey now what you trying to pull?

Asking me to fill your cup of tea when it's already full

You just come back when it's empty. You come back another day!

Everyone knows too much anyway


Verse 6: In this age of information, in this ever-changing world

We all go in endless circles... every boy and girl

But hunger leaves a gaping hole where we just want to play

And everyone knows too much anyway


Verse 7: Now the children gather round and Papa kills the fatted calf

In honor of the one that went off half-cocked for a laugh

They never thought they'd witness such an honor for a stray

Everyone knows too much anyway


Verse 8: Now the gallery is nervous, they're getting ready for the show

They all start laying blame and claiming all how much they know

Somebody needs to tell them that old dog has had his day

But everyone knows too much

Everyone knows too much

Everyone knows too much anyway
