Games People Play Lyrics


All the games people play now
Every night, every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they meanWhile they while away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousineOh, we make one another cry
Breakin' hearts when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
Except the other was to blameEither one will ever kill it
So we gaze and we make pretend
Thinkin' 'bout things that might have been
Oww, it's a dirty rotten shameLadandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people playPeople walkin' up to ya
Singin', "Glory Hallelujah"
Sayin', "What the hell's it to ya?

If we do it in the name of the Lord"We're gonna teach you how to meditate
Preach our hearts from teacher's faith
Put them on a hell of hate
Come on, let's get on boardLadandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play[Incomprehensible]Look around, tell me what you see
What's happenin' to you and me
Got burning 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
Oww, when you don't give a damn, not a damnLadandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout you and me, and the games people play
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Talkin' 'bout everybody, talkin' 'bout youLadandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
(Oh, you and me, you and me)
(I'm talkin' 'bout the games, the games we all play)
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
(Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee)
(All the games, talkin' bout the games people play)Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee
Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee

Tesla is an American hard rock band originating from Sacramento, California. The band formed in 1984 as City Kidd and was renamed to Tesla during the recording of their first album on the advice of their manager. According to the Love Song Songfacts, their name comes from Nikola Tesla, the legendary scientist and inventor who quite possibly is single-handedly responsible for the "mad scientist" trope. Originally, the group included Jeff Keith (vocals), Frank Hannon (guitar), Tommy Skeoch (guitar), Brian Wheat (bass) and Troy Luccketta (drums). In 2006 Skeoch was replaced by Dave Rude, who is now an official member of the band.

Tesla's music fit well with the blasting sound of the 80s glam bands, but was more bluesy and lyrics dealt with other themes than just the usual, girls, alcohol and violence. But what set them even more apart from their contemporaries was their T-shirt and jeans image which was in strong contrast for that time, characteristic of leather pants and flashy-make up.

The group released 6 albums with original music, latest of them entitled "Forever More" (2008) as well as a double-disc covers album "Real To Reel" and a number of compilations and live albums.

Tesla's popular 1990 remake of Signs, originally recorded by the Five Man Electrical Band (who also inspired the album which the remake came from, Five Man Acoustical Jam), is probably the most mainstream of Tesla's hits. However, many fans remember fondly Tesla's other hits such as Gettin' Better, Modern Day Cowboy, Little Suzi, Edison's Medicine and Love Song.

The band derived their name, certain album and song names (e.g. The Great Radio Controversy, Mechanical Resonance, etc), and some song content from events relating to Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer born in the 19th century in Smiljan, Austria-Hungary, modern day Croatia.
