Here are the Lyrics:
La da da de da da
La da da de da de
La da da da da da
La da da da da 
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 whoa

La la la de da da 
La lal a  de da da de
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play.

Oh we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other one was to blame whoa

Neither one will give in
So we gaze at our eight by ten
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame, whoa

Oh yeah
All right
Oh yeah
Come on

People walking up to ya
Singing Glory Hallelujah
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 fate
Further more to heck with hate
Come on  get on board, whoa

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

"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 la la da da
La da da de da da
Da da da de da da 
Keep talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play
