Lada, dala, dada, dada, lada, dala, dada, dada

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

Lada, dala, dada, dada, lada, dala, dada, dada
Hey, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play

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 horoscope, cheat your faith
And further more to hell with hate
Come on and get on board

Lada, dala, dada, dada, lada, dala, dada, dada
Hey, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play

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 sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
And you don't give a da da da da da

Lada, dala, dada, dada, lada, dala, dada, dada
Hey, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
