Akira The Don, Alan Watts - What Games People Are Playing lyrics

It's an amazing thing in our culture
Everybody is afflicted with ontological guilt
For example, if a policeman comes to the door
Everybody is instantly
Frightened, you wonder
"What on Earth have I done?"
And there are certain clergy who are absolute
Experts in making you feel guilty
They’re really marvelous
And they're a clergy of
All kinds, all classes
And for all levels of intelligence


Only, you have to watch always
What games people are play
Only, you have to watch always
What games people are play
Only, you have to watch always
What games people are play
Only, you have to watch always
What games people are play

Now you see the thing is
That really is a puzzle
They don't admit they’re playing games
And when a person is playing games
And doesn't admit that they're playing games
Then you have some kind of a trickster
Who isn't really being fair to you
Now of course the game, that this
Game is not a game, has a certain kind of a
Fascinating quality to it
How mixed up can we all get? Let's try
How mixed up can we all get? Let's try
See, there is a certain possibility in that
I would like to go insane and be
As insane as anybody has ever been
And be the far-est out crazy nut in the world
See, that's a game, but it's not a good game
It’s a game being played by
A person who didn’t really
Understand that every day life was a game too
And I think the most important
Thing is to admit this

Only, you have to watch always
What games people are play
Only, you have to watch always
What games people are play
Only, you have to watch always
What games people are play
Only, you have to watch always
What games people are play
