Games People Play

Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean

While they while away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine

Though we make one another cry
Break our hearts and we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
Said the other was to blame

Neither one will ever give in
Though we gaze on an ache again
Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame

People walkin' up to ya
Singin' 'Glory, Hallelujah"
Then they try to sock it to ya
In the name of the Lord

They gonna they teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And further more to hell with hate
Come on get on board

Hey look around and tell me what you see
What's happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To remember who I am, whoa

'Cause you've given up your sanity
All your pride and your vanity
Turn back your back on humanity
And you don't give a

La da di da da da da
La da da di di di di
Talkin' 'bout you and me
