Games People Play
Unveiling the Intriguing Human Games of Deception
Lyrics
Oh the games people now every night and every day now
Observation of people engaging in games and deceit consistently throughout day and night.
Never meanin' what they say now and never sayin' what they mean
Not being sincere in communication, often saying things without genuine intent or meaning.
While they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
People spending time in their privileged positions, detached from reality, often leading to their demise.
Until they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine
Symbolic image of the consequences of insincere actions, ending in a funeral procession.
Lotten da da da da lotten da da a dee da dee
Repetitive musical interlude.
Yes we're talkin' bout you and me and the games people play
Addressing the audience, discussing the universal nature of these games.
Make one another cry break a heart then we say goodbye
Describing the emotional impact of the games, causing tears and heartbreak.
Cross our hearts and we hope to die that the other one's to blame
Pledging sincerity but acknowledging the tendency to blame the other person when things go wrong.
But neither one will ever give in so we gaze at an eight by ten
Both parties refusing to compromise, reminiscing about what could have been.
Thinkin' bout the things that might have been and it's a dirty rotten shame
Expressing regret about the missed opportunities and the unfortunate state of affairs.
Lotten da da da da...
Repetitive musical interlude.
Your friends're walkin' up to ya singing glory hallelujah
Friends approaching with insincere praise and intentions in the guise of religious gestures.
As they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord
Attempting to take advantage of the person in the name of religion.
They're gonna teach you how to meditate read your horoscope and cheat your fate
Listing various methods people use to manipulate, including meditation and deceit.
And furthermore to hell with hate come on and get on board
Encouraging a rejection of hate and embracing a deceptive path.
Lotten da da da da...
Repetitive musical interlude.
Look around and tell me what you see what's happened to you and me
Reflecting on the current state of society and questioning the changes.
God grand me the serenity to just remember who I am
Requesting divine intervention to maintain self-awareness amidst chaos.
Cause we've given up our sanity for our kind and our vanity
Highlighting the sacrifice of sanity for societal norms and personal vanity.
Turn our back on humanity and we don't give a lot
Turning away from human values, indifferent to the consequences.
Lotten da da da da...
Repetitive musical interlude.
Yes we're talkin' bout you and me and the games people play
Reiterating the discussion about the universal nature of deceptive games among people.
