Oh, the games people play now   Every night and every day now   Never meanin' what they say now   And never sayin' what they mean      So, they whyle away the hours   In their ivory towers   Till they're covered up with flowers   In the back of a black limousine      La, de, da, da, da, da, da, da   La, de, da, da, da, da, de   Talkin' 'bout you and me   And the games people play      Lord, they make one another cry   Break their hearts and never say goodbye   Cross their hearts and they hope to die   That the other was to blame      And neither one would ever give in   So they gaze at an eight by ten   Thinkin' 'bout the ways it might have been   And it's a dirty rotten shame      La, de, da, da, da, da, da, da   La, de, da, da, da, da, de   Talkin' 'bout you and me   And the games people play      People walkin' up to you   They're singin' 'Glory Hallelujah'   And they're tryin' to sock it to you   In the name of the Lord      They gonna teach you how to meditate   Read your horoscope and cheat your fate   Further more to hell with hate   Come on and get on board      La, de, da, da, da, da, da, da   La, de, da, da, da, da, de   Talkin' 'bout you and me   And the games people play      Look around and tell me what you see   What's happenin' 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 your back on humanity   And you don't give a da, da, da, da, da      La, de, da, da, da, da, da, da   La, de, da, da, da, da, de   Talkin' 'bout you and me   And the games people play      Talkin' 'bout you and me   And the games people play
