Games People Play (Live On The Ed Sullivan Show, November 15, 1970)

Oh the games people play now

Every night and every day now

Never meaning what they say now

Never saying what they mean

And they wile away the hours

In their ivory towers

Till they're covered up with flowers

In the back of a black limousine

La-da da da da da da da

La-da da da da da de

Talking 'bout you and me

And the games people play

Oh 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 give in

So we gaze at our eight by ten

Thinking 'bout the things that might have been

It's a dirty rotten shame

People walking up to you

Singing glory hallelulia

And they're tryin to sock it to you

In the name of the Lord

They're gonna teach you how to meditate

Read your horoscope, cheat your fate

And further more to hell with hate

Come on and 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

For your pride and your vanity

Turns your back on humanity

And you don't give a da da da da da
