Leonard Cohen - Everybody Knows

Todo el mundo lo sabe, pero...

Todo el mundo sabe como funciona esto, todo el mundo sabe que es lo que manda y prevalece, todo el mundo sabe que el centro del universo no esta en si mismo. Todo el mundo sabe que es lo correcto, todo el mundo sabe por donde hay que tirar, todo el mundo sabe que lo fácil no nos lleva a ningun lugar. Todo el mundo sabe que si tiras una piedra al frente a alguien le puedes dar, todo el mundo sabe que cada acto tiene su consecuencia, todo el mundo sabe que solo no se anda por este lar. Todo el mundo lo sabe....y así nos va. Todo el mundo sabe que no vivimos solos, todo el mundo sabe...pero muchos no se quieren enterar. Parafrasear a Cohen no es un delito, aunque si un atrevimiento...todo el mundo lo sabe.

Es la rabia contenida, es el deseo de estallar y salpicar al mundo con todo lo que me corroe. Es la impotencia de la debilidad humana, el no poder llegar a más, es el estar sobradito, es la necesidad de chillarle al tímpano al egocéntrico, al interesado, al prepotente, al soberbio.... que toda acción tiene consecuencias, muchas veces colaterales, consecuencias no a quien crees ir dirigidas, sino al que menos culpa tiene del odio manifiesto, al inocente, al pequeño, la más débil....todo el mundo sabe.

Buffff que ancho me quedé!




"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
That's 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
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's 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 it's 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 there's 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 it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows"
