|
oh the games people play now
|
every night and every day now
|
never meaning what they say now
|
and never saying what they mean
|
while they walk away the hours
|
in their ivory towers
|
till they`re covered up in flowers
|
in the back of a black limousine
|
|
la da la da da da da,
|
la da da da da de,
|
I'm a talkin' about you and me
|
and the games people play
|
|
You know we make one another cry
|
we break our hearts and we say goodbye
|
we cross our hearts and we hope to die
|
that the other was to blame
|
we need a woman that will give in
|
so we gaze at an 8X10
|
wanderin' about the things
|
that might have been
|
and it's a dirty rotten shame
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
|
now wait a minute
|
they come walkin' up to ya
|
singing glory haleuajah
|
let me try to sock it to ya
|
in the name of the Lord
|
they only show ya how to meditate
|
and to read your horoscope cheat your fate
|
furthermore to hell with hate
|
c'mon and get on board
|
|
(repeat chorus)
|
|
look around baby what'd you see
|
what's been happening to you and me
|
God granted it's serenity
|
just to remember who I am
|
cause you've given up your sanity
|
your pride and your bounty
|
you turn your back on humanity
|
and you don't give a damn damn damn
|
|
(repeat chourus X2)
