Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen




.

Over the Coming Fiscal Cliffs - Everybody Knows - Leonard Cohen

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking 
Everybody knows that the captain lied






Songwriters: HUGO, CHAD / WILLIAMS, PHARRELL L.

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

Senator Tim Scott Encourages All Fatherless Kids to Take Chick-fil-A Sandwiches, Candy and Conservative Ideas from Strangers / Mentors


You can call me Tim, or you can call me Timothy or you can call me Senator...

Tea Party Caucus House member Tim Scott just got a chance to fill part of Heritage Foundation President/Senator Jim DeMint’s South Carolina Senate seat's unexpired term. He is one of them “good” republicans in the South Carolina Tea Party. Wink. Nod. If ya all know what I mean. 

Chik-fil-A secular mentor values = imagined holier than thou Krisitian values. Hay-men.

Watch and learn. One day you too get can get a million dollar a year job at the Heritage Foundation and it all starts with a juicy free Chick-fil-A filled bun from a stranger/mentor. 



One day he came down to the movie theater and slid a Chick-fil-A sandwich across the desk. John was smart enough to know that food is a good way to start a conversation with a kid who likes to eat ... which probably means all kids. What a guy!
Over the course of three or four years, John transformed my way of thinking, which changed my life. It was interesting because the lessons that John was teaching me were maybe simple lessons, but they were profound lessons. 
.
By another account, it was a bag of Chick-fil-A sandwiches that turned Tim Scott’s life into the tea-bagger he is today. A story too good to be true seems to grow and grow with each telling.

Validation only through the testimony of white folk in South Carolina???  A Southern Tradition. 



Moniz took a bag of sandwiches to the theater one day and began mentoring Scott, who was struggling to stay in school. 
Moniz’s Christian-based lessons on life and business provided the high-schooler with direction that, 30 years later, Scott credited with helping lead him to the U.S. Senate. 
“At the time, we don’t know who we’re influencing and what they might do with their lives,” said Moniz’s widow, Janice. “God put him in that theater.”
