Lyrics

[00:12.74] Oh the games people play now
[00:15.55] Every night and every day now
[00:18.85] Never meaning what they say now
[00:21.98] Never saying what they mean
[00:25.28] They just wile away the hours
[00:28.41] In their ivory towers
[00:31.65] Til theyre covered up with flowers
[00:34.96] In the back of a black limousine
[00:38.20] La da da da da da da da
[00:41.26] La da da da da da da dee
[00:44.51] I'm talking bout you and me
[00:47.69] And the games people play
[00:50.87] Oh we make one another cry
[00:54.11] Break our heart when we say goodbye
[00:57.23] Cross our hearts and we hope to die
[01:00.41] Bet the other was to blame
[01:03.74] Neither one ever give an inch
[01:06.92] So we gaze at our eight by ten
[01:09.92] Thinking bout the things that might of been
[01:13.72] And its a dirty rotten shame
[01:15.59] --- Instrumental ---

[01:32.51] Singing glory Hallelujah
[01:33.57] And their trying to sock it to you
[01:38.74] In the name of the Lord
[01:42.18] There gonna teach you how to meditate
[01:45.36] Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
[01:48.81] And to furthermore to hell with hate
[01:51.86] Come on get on board

[01:58.23] La da da da da da da dee
[02:01.41] I'm talking bout you and me
[02:04.59] And the games people play
[02:07.79] Well look around and tell me what you see
[02:10.91] Whats a happening to you and me
[02:14.03] God grant me the serenity
[02:17.34] To remember who I am
[02:20.71] 'Cause you've given up your sanity
[02:23.70] For your pride and your vanity
[02:26.83] Turns you back on humanity
