My life is better with Steve Polz in it 😊.
Brilliant!!!!❤
Hi Steve
I'm in the ICU at tehachipi Adventist hospital in California. Im so greatful for your talent and strong will . The nurse's all love your music but who couldn't
Steve is the best human being to see live as he radiates sunshine and goodness with some humor on the side. Come back to Cleveland! Cleveland Rocks.
He was in Kent in March with Paul Thorn! Great show!
I love how the video pans up to the sky over and over, as if someone is listening up there.... God ain't answering-- what a bummer.
7 years ago. Do you feel the same way today Steve? Fun song btw.
We used to go to Kelly’s to see The Rugburns in the late 80s early 90s. Always appreciated Steve’s lyrics and stage presence. Glad he still tours. Saw him most recently at the Steven Birch aquarium. Keep the good vibes going! Thanks for all you positivity. Never compromise.
Poltzerized to the max baby(;
This hits differently in 2020.
Another Pearl from Steve Poltz
I love you Steve!
I love you so very much, Poltzy!!!

It was 30 years ago this month [Feb. 2018] that Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen released his classic album, I’m Your Man. One of the album’s highlights, Everybody Knows, has been variously described by critics as "bitterly pessimistic" yet funny, or, more strongly, “a bleak prophecy about the end of the world as we know it."
At the 2017 Juno gala dinner, son Adam Cohen recalled that his father "was one of the only people I know, who had the most absurd prediction that anybody in my midst would dare have: he predicted Donald Trump was going to be the president of the United States, which of course made us all laugh hysterically." Leonard Cohen died November 7, 2016 at age 82- one day before Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the U.S. presidential election.
I hope Leonard Cohen will be pleased with this slight rewrite of Everybody Knows:
Everybody Knows 2.0
Everybody knows that there’s no collusion
Everybody smiles when the camera’s on
Everybody knows the game is over
Everybody knows the fake guy won
Everybody knows his temper is quick
The rich get richer, the poor get sick
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows who’s doing the leaking
Everybody knows that The Donald lies
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their country or their dog just died
The top one percent fill their pockets
Where does Wolff send the box of chocolates?
Now I suppose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows what he said to Billy
Everybody knows all his tweets are true
Everybody knows he reads all documents
Ah, give or take a time or two
Everybody knows the spineless GOP
And there were so many Russians he just had to meet
With a friendly pose
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 how much he offends
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah, when you’re watching Fox & Friends
Everybody knows the chaotic West Wing
Do the Dreamers mean anything?
What will Mueller disclose
So everybody knows
And everybody knows that he’s a racist
He knows very fine people on both sides
Everybody knows he said 's-hole countries'
Everybody knows the Button he wants to try
Everybody knows he has three TVs
And there are so many cheeseburgers he just has to eat
When in repose
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that he’s in trouble
Everybody knows that it’s time to go
From the plaque below the Statue of Liberty
To the beach at Mar-a-Lago
Everybody knows fifteen women’s names
And who it is they blame
That’s how it goes
Now everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows the very stable genius
Everybody knows of serious voter fraud
He knows more about ISIS than the generals
Everybody knows Mexico pays for the wall
Everybody knows loyalty’s a one-way street
Fire and fury will have lots of heat
So before it blows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that there’s no obstruction
Everybody knows he paid the porn star
Everybody knows he’ll talk to Mueller
As long as it is not behind bars
Everybody knows the memo’s cherry-picked
Dems who don’t clap are a treasonous clique
They are his foes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows…
Fuckin' great lyrics!
I don't know how you could be any more relevant, mister Steven JJ.. Never do you cease to amaze
Lol what a great title with the state of things I’d trade the whole Biden administration as well for Laughing Len
Thinking we need some new verses for John Prine, Jerry Jeff, Jimmy Buffett, Guy Clark - maybe throwing in the sharting ink squirter Rudy ...
You forget to add Lou Reed in there.
I know this dude. He lives in San Diego, California
Hey Steve you should write a new one I'll trade you Biden for Tina Turner!! That would be a great trade!!
This was such a great video, Poltzie & Scot!!
Bring Woody Guthrie and Leonard Cohen back. To Hell with orange face. Steve my first good laugh in a long time.
This is exactly how so many of us felt at hearing the news of all those we lost this last year. Love
Steve is one of my biggest inspirations! Thank you!
He sounds like a burn out. I know someone who gave Steve Poltz a
Handmade custom guitar for free that a lot or people love, and Steve never said a word, never mentioned the guitar or put in a good word for his friend, rumor has it that Steve sold
It. A gift! What does that tell you. Ungrateful.
@GeorgeSpencer985 oh wow, you had lots of dumb things to say last night huh? LOL!
@@AR-ed3xw I was speaking about a dumb subject, boomer. Anything but mean tweets, orange man bad, upset that one say, so now Gen Z gets carted off to WW3, ironically! No wonder they don’t trust anyone over 30! Would you buy a used car from Clown man Biden?! Peace man! End the war mongering.
Steve... can you please write a verse asking for Amy Winehouse back?
great song and video!
Anyone else getting a joe exotic sings about Carole baskin vibe?
Why isn't this on the iTunes? :::fume:::

Hey God, I'll trade you Donald Trump for Tom Petty,
We're "lost and lonely" without him
he's "learning to fly around the clouds"
"Don't do us like that!" Trump for Tom Petty!
Make the trade. Now.
I'd take some mean tweets for a better economy.
l'll trade god little hands for Chris Cornell … any amens?
Tds
i might even trade god for steve poltz ???
Tom Petty!! please
He's looking for talent
Hey God I'll trade you Donald Trump for Leon Russell
Come on, God, with Trump you have to use a little muscle
Take him out back right now and end his business hustle
What do you say, God, Donald Trump for Leon Russell
Those coveralls have GOT to GO.
You understand them though right?
What do you say God, our patience is runnin' low.
We'll trade you Donald trump[ for any old John Doe.
it's kinda catchy but....Sad AF that even Steve missed the "Orange man bad psyop. "This sounds like a shitlib anthem bro, js
God can’t trade for him. Trump isn’t going to heaven. Trade has to be done with the devil.
I'll trade you Joe Biden for Donald Trump. 🤭🙃🇺🇲
C’mon Steve! You don’t want to revise this tune now that the Russian nukes are ACTUALLY “glowie” and we can’t afford to shop at Whole Foods anymore? Bad Orange Man is looking pretty good next to that stumbly bumbly warmonger puppet we have now.
The TDS is massive with this one! Prancing around like a woketardian while cheering on the industrial military complex.
nice take, snowflake!
Im a Trump supporter but I like this song. A lot
