If They Don't Know, They Should

Lyrics from Everybody Knows, the Leonard Cohen song released over 25 years ago:

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...

Seems appropriate to trot this song out as we begin the 2016 election campaign in these United States.
