Games People Play Songtext
von Lucinda Williams

All the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin′ what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean
And they wallow in the hours
In their ivory towers
′Til 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-da-dee
Talkin' ′bout you and me
And the games people play
Oh, we make one another cry
Break a heart, never say goodbye
Cross our hearts ′til we hope to die
Then the other one's to blame
Neither one is gonna give in
So we gaze at our eight by ten
Think about things that might have been
It′s a dirty rotten shame


People walkin' up to you
Singin′ glory hallelujah
And 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 fate
Furthermore, to hell with hate
Come on and get on board
Look around and 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
Turn your back on humanity
And you don′t give a damn
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-dee
Talkin' ′bout you and me
And the games people play
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-dee
Talkin' ′bout you and me
And the games people play
