Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows 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

I'm sadly lacking in my knowledge of his oeuvre; considering how big an influence he was both in the time of my youth and in the particular milieu I mixed in. I have been greatly impressed with the small sample i have listened to and need to make a belated attempt to get a handle on his output. RIP.
