Games People Play

(앨범: In Person Live At "Mr Lucky's" In Phoenix Arizona - 1969)

Well, the games people now every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now, never saying what they mean
So they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine

Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talking 'bout you and me and the games people play

Well, we make one another cry break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die that the other was to blame
Neither one will ever give in so we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been, it's a dirty rotten shame

People walking up to ya, singing glory hallelujah
And they're trying 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 fate
And furthermore forget about hate, come on and get on board

Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talking 'bout you and me and the games people play

Look around and tell me what you see, what's happened to you and to me
God grand me the serenity to just remember who I am
'Cause you've given up a sanity for your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a la da da

Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talking 'bout you and me and the games people play
Talking 'bout you and me and the games people play
