verse 1
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
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 now
La-da da da da da de
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play now
verse 2
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 is a dirty rotten shame
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 is a dirty rotten shame
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 now
La-da da da da da de
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play now
bridge
People walking up to you
Singing glory hallelujah
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
Singing glory hallelujah
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
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 now
La-da da da da da de
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play now
verse 3
Look around tell me what you see
What's a happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To just remember who I am
Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn you back on humanity Oh
And you don't give a da da da da da
What's a happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To just remember who I am
Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn you back on humanity Oh
And you don't give a da da da da da
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 now
La-da da da da da de
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play now
