Everybody Knows

With apologies to Leonard Cohen

Everybody knows the clergy are lacking
Everybody still attends the local Kirk
Everybody knows the culture’s cracking
Everybody knows the “collared shirts” are jerks
Everybody knows who bears the guilt
The lost stay lost, in this worldview tilt
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that we’re being lied to
Everybody knows that it’s all a show
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like they’ve been taken to a bordello
Everybody praying to God sincere
Everybody asking for no Nuclear
That it doesn’t come to blows
Everybody knows

Everybody knows we’re fiscally solvent
Everybody knows we pay our bills
Everybody knows that our credit’s good
That’s why the checks’ now in the mail
Everybody knows this as we speak
If you can just wait a couple of weeks
We are just a little slow
As 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 the border’s closed
Everybody knows that we’re safe now
Everybody knows we’re no longer exposed
We’ve let in all we’re going to allow
Everybody knows the white man’s dying
There’s no need to keep on lying
We see we are hosed
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that our elites are perverts
Everybody knows they like little tykes
Everybody knows that the ruling class and family
Are composed of sodomites and dykes
Everybody knows DEI is their bread
And they won’t be happy till we’re dead
Then it’ll be disclosed
What everybody knows

And everybody knows there’s an end to darkness
Everybody knows what we must do
We must return to a place called Golgotha
And finally, be done with Talmudic Jews
Everybody knows Reformation’s the answer
To this vile cultural cancer
Otherwise, it’ll blow
As everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That’s how it goes

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

I am a Pastor of a small Church in Mid-Michigan who delights in my family, my congregation and my calling. I am postmillennial in my eschatology. Paedo-Calvinist Covenantal in my Christianity Reformed in my Soteriology Presuppositional in my apologetics Familialist in my family theology Agrarian in my regional community social order belief Christianity creates culture and so Christendom in my national social order belief Mythic-Poetic / Grammatical Historical in my Hermeneutic Pre-modern, Medieval, & Feudal before Enlightenment, modernity, & postmodern Reconstructionist / Theonomic in my Worldview One part paleo-conservative / one part micro Libertarian in my politics Systematic and Biblical theology need one another but Systematics has pride of place Some of my favorite authors, Augustine, Turretin, Calvin, Tolkien, Chesterton, Nock, Tozer, Dabney, Bavinck, Wodehouse, Rushdoony, Bahnsen, Schaeffer, C. Van Til, H. Van Til, G. H. Clark, C. Dawson, H. Berman, R. Nash, C. G. Singer, R. Kipling, G. North, J. Edwards, S. Foote, F. Hayek, O. Guiness, J. Witte, M.

It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.
