As our good friend Leonard Cohen might say:
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, everybody rolled with their fingers crossed, but everybody knows the good guys lost. Everybody knows the fight was fixed, the poor stay poor, the rich get rich, and that's how it goes. Everybody knows that the boat was leaking, everybody knows that the captain lied, everybody got this broken feeling, like their father or their dog just died.

That's how it goes. And everybody knows the deal was rotten, everybody knows the scene is dead, and everybody knows that you're in trouble, so, take one last look before it sinks for the last time. And that's how it goes, boss.
