Song lyrics

What 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

La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
Talking about 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 about the things that might have been.
It's a dirty rotten shame.

La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
Talking about you and me
And the games people play

People walking up to you,
Singing glory hallelujah.
And they're trying 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!

La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
Talking about you and me
And the games people play

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

La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
Talking about you and me
And the games people play.
La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
Talking about you and me
And the games people play.
