Oh the games people play now
|
Every night and every day now
|
Never meaning what they say now
|
Never saying what they mean
|
|
And they wile away the hours
|
In their ivory towers
|
Till they're covered up with flowers
|
In the back of a black limousine
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
La-da da da da da da da
|
La-da da da da da de
|
Talking 'bout you and me
|
And the games people play
|
|
Oh we make one another cry
|
Break a heart then we say goodbye
|
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
|
That the other was to blame
|
|
Neither one will give in
|
So we gaze at our eight by ten
|
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
|
It's a dirty rotten shame
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
People walking up to you
|
Singing glory hallelulia
|
And they're tryin to sock it to you
|
In the name of the Lord
|
|
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
|
Read your horoscope, cheat your faith
|
And further more to hell with hate
|
Come on and get on board
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Look around tell me what you see
|
What's happening to you and me
|
God grant me the serenity
|
To remember who I am
|
|
Cause you've given up your sanity
|
For your pride and your vanity
|
Turns you sad on humanity
|
And you don't give a da da da da da
|
