Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin’ what they say now
Never sayin’ what they mean
And they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Until they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Dow dow d-dow d-dow
Dow dow d-dow d-dow
You know I’m talkin’ about you and me
And the games people play
People walking up to you
Singing glory halleluiah
And then they try to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord
They’re gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your faith
And furthermore to hell with hate
Come on and get on board
Dow dow d-dow d-dow
Dow dow d-dow d-dow
You know I’m talkin’ about you and me
And the games people play
La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da da 95
Da da da
Look around tell me what you see
What's happenin’ to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To remember who I am
‘Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Ah, you turn your back on humanity
And you don't give a da da da da da
Dow dow d-dow d-dow
Dow dow d-dow d-dow
You know talkin’ about you and me
And the games people play
One more time!
Dow dow d-dow d-dow
Dow dow d-dow d-dow
You know talkin’ about you and me
And the games,
And the games, people play
