[00:01.80]Games People Play - Joe South
[00:35.48]Oh the games people play now
[00:38.36]Every night and every day now
[00:41.05]Never meaning what they say now
[00:43.81]Never saying what they mean
[00:46.61]And they wile away the hours
[00:49.46]In their ivory towers
[00:52.23]Till they're covered up with flowers
[00:54.49]In the back of a black limousine
[00:56.82]Chorus
[00:57.86]La-da da da da da da da
[01:00.76]La-da da da da da de
[01:03.99]Talking 'bout you and me
[01:06.33]And the games people play
[01:09.07]Oh we make one another cry
[01:11.86]Break a heart then we say goodbye
[01:14.64]Cross our hearts and we hope to die
[01:17.46]That the other was to blame
[01:20.33]Neither one will give in
[01:23.08]So we gaze at our eight by ten
[01:25.86]Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
[01:28.50]It's a dirty rotten shame
[02:04.80]People walking up to you
[02:07.57]Singing glory hallelulia
[02:10.47]And they're tryin to sock it to you
[02:13.24]In the name of the Lord
[02:15.89]They're gonna teach you how to meditate
[02:18.70]Read your horoscope  cheat your faith
[02:21.73]And further more to hell with hate
[02:24.14]Come on and get on board
[02:26.04]Repeat Chorus
[02:37.88]Look around tell me what you see
[02:40.65]What's happening to you and me
[02:43.46]God grant me the serenity
[02:46.11]To remember who I am
[02:48.87]Cause you've given up your sanity
[02:51.59]For your pride and your vanity
[02:54.28]Turns you sad on humanity
[02:56.50]And you don't give a da da da da da
[03:02.59]Repeat Chorus
