The Games People Play Now
Published:
This is a Joe South song circa 1968.
Take a good look at the words, especially the bolded (my bolding):
Whoa--the games people play now.
Every night and every day now.
Never meanin' what they say now.
Never sayin' 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.
[Chorus]
La, da, da da, da-da da;
La, da, da da, da-da de...
talkin' 'bout you-n-me
and the games people play--now.
Whoa 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.
But neither one will ever give-in,
so we gaze at an eight-by-ten
thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been
and it's a dirty rotten shame.
[Chorus]
People walkin'-up to ya,
singin' glory hallelujah
'n' they're tryin' ta sock it to ya,
in the name of the Lord.
They're gonna teach you how to meditate,
read your horoscope, cheat your fate.
And furthermore to Hell with hate
Come-on and get-on board.
[Chorus]
Look-around tell me what you see.
What's a-happenin' to you and me?
God grant me the serenity
to jus' remember who I am.
'cause you've given-up your sanity
for your pride and your vanity,
turn your back on humanity;
Oh and you don't give a da da da da da.
[Chorus x 3]
-Joe South
