Tesla - Games People Play

All the games people play now, every night every day now
Never meaning what they say now, never saying what they mean
While they while away the hours in their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine

Oh we make one another cry, break their hearts when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts say we hope to die, 'cept the other was to blame
Neither one will ever give in, so we gaze at an 8x10,
Thinkin' 'bout things that might have been, oh it's a dirty rotten shame

[Chorus:]
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play

People walkin' up to ya, singin' glory hallelujah
Sayin' what the hell's it to ya, if I do it in the name of the Lord
Gonna teach ya how to meditate
*Read Your Horoscope, Cheat your fate*
Bug 'em all to hell today,
come on, let's get on board

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Look around, tell me what you see, what's happening to you and me
God grant me my serenity, to remember who I am
'Cos you're givin' up your sanity, or your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity, ow, when you don't give a damn, not a damn

Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout everybody, talkin' 'bout you, 'bout you and me
(Ladandaladandadada) you and me, (ladandaladandadadee)
I'm talkin' bout the games, the games we all play
(Ladandaladandadada) ladanda, (ladandaladandadadee) ladandadadee
All the games, talkin' bout the games people play
(Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee)
(Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee)
(Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee)

[lovesmygirls213]

what a fucking awesome song - I have a book entitled 'Games People Play' I wonder if this is where they got the title. It's from like the 60's.

Joe South wrote one of the finest songs ever.

I may not have the tits the band likes but that dont mean I wouldnt like to party with the band

[mrjctx]

The song is written based on a book called "Games People Play by Eric Berne" about real life games that people play against each other. Good read, TX DPS uses this method to help prevent the use of deadly force. Lots of good info.

THANKS MUCH FOR SHARING, i put this one on my FB PAGE, most of that page is dedicated to helping save lives & signing petitions and all we can do to help our animals in need of many signatures. If you have a heart for our fur babies please hit me up on FB mara zadura there is a black & white profile picture of a lady on one side and a rose on the other side. CHEERS!
