  • Oh the games people play now
    Every night and every day now
    Never meaning what they say now
    And never saying what they mean

    And they while away the hours
    In their ivory towers
    'Till they're covered up with flowers
    In the back of a black limousine

    Though we make one another cry
    Break our hearts when we say goodbye
    Cross our hearts and we'll hope to die
    Said the other was to blame

    Neither one will ever give in
    Though we gaze on an eight by ten (note 1)
    Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
    And it's a dirty rotten shame

    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

    Gonna teach you how to meditate
    Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
    And furthermore to hell with hate
    Come on get on board

    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
    All your pride and your vanity
    Turn your back on humanity
    And you don't give a damn

    Talking about you and me
    And the games people play
