Everybody knows, You don't get what you plan And everybody runs away from what they don't understand Everybody hides away the guilt of their youth. And everybody wonders why no one ever tells the truth Mmmmmmm.... Everybody knows that everybody wants And everybody has their ghosts, That emptiness that haunts When everybody adds it up, They've lost more than they've won And everybody wishes they were just like everyone Chorus: Forever and ever amen Forever and ever amen Mmmm... Forever and ever amen Oooohhh... Forever and ever amen Oooohhh... Forever and ever amen (Oooohh) Forever and ever amen Forever and ever, amen.
