Georgia Satellites - Games People Play

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 wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Til they're covered up with 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

Oh, we make one another cry
Break a heart when we say goodbye
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 8 by 10
Thinkin' about the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame

Chorus

People walkin' up to ya
Singing glory hallelujah
And they try to sock it to ya
In the name of the lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your faith
Furthermore to hell with hate
C'mon and get on board

Chorus

Look around and tell me what you see
What's been happening to you and me
God granted me 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 da da da da da

Chorus
