	Oh, the games people play, now, every night and every	day, now,

	D	E7	A
Never meaning what they	say now,	never saying what they	mean.

	E
While they wile away the hours in their ivory	towers,

	D	E7	A
Till they're covered up with	flowers,	In the back of a black limou	sine.

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 ever 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 halleluja,

And they're tryin to sock it to ya, in the name of the Lord.

They're gonna teach you how to meditate, read your horoscope, cheat your faith,

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 just remember who I am, woah!

Cause you've given up your sanity, for your pride and your vanity,

Turn your back on humanity, and you don't give a da da da da da.
