Games People Play
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…
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 sa
Where do the children play
Where Do The Children Play
Well I
think it's fine, building jumbo planes
Or taking a ride on a cosmic train
Switch on summer from a slot machine
Yes, get what you want to if you want
Cause you can get anything
I know
we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
Well you
roll on roads over fresh green grass
For your lorry loads pumping petrol gas
And you make them long, and you make them tough
But they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get off
Oh, I
know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
Well
you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air
But will you keep on building higher
'Til there's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?
I know
we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?
