Where do we go from here now that all of the children are grown up
And how do we spend our lives if there's no-one to lend us a hand
I don't want to live here no more,
I don't want to stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life,
Quietly fading away
Games people play,
You take take it or you leave it
Things that they say,
Aren't right
If I promise you the Moon and the Stars,
Would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
Where do we go from here now that all of the children have grown up
And how do we spend our time knowin' nobody gives us a damn
I don't want to live here no more,
I don't want to stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life,
Quietly fading away
Games people play,
You take take it or you leave it
Things that they say,
Just don't make it right
If I'm tellin' you the truth right now,
Do you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
Games people play,
You take take it or you leave it
Things that they say,
Aren't right
If I promise you the Moon and the Stars,
Would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
Games people play,
You take take it or you leave it
Things that they say,
Just don't make it right
If I'm tellin' you the truth right now,
Do you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
And how do we spend our lives if there's no-one to lend us a hand
I don't want to live here no more,
I don't want to stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life,
Quietly fading away
Games people play,
You take take it or you leave it
Things that they say,
Aren't right
If I promise you the Moon and the Stars,
Would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
Where do we go from here now that all of the children have grown up
And how do we spend our time knowin' nobody gives us a damn
I don't want to live here no more,
I don't want to stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life,
Quietly fading away
Games people play,
You take take it or you leave it
Things that they say,
Just don't make it right
If I'm tellin' you the truth right now,
Do you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
Games people play,
You take take it or you leave it
Things that they say,
Aren't right
If I promise you the Moon and the Stars,
Would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
Games people play,
You take take it or you leave it
Things that they say,
Just don't make it right
If I'm tellin' you the truth right now,
Do you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night

Seems to me like a man who has bought, wholeheartedly, the lie that human beings are all destined to find their “true love”, and therefore, fulfillment surely comes from raising a family and watching the succeeding generations grow, ideally dying at the age of 96, surrounded by loving family…and now that he has simply followed what everyone else was doing - marrying, having kids - he expected to never have to deal with his inner self nagging him about “dreams” or “fulfillment” ever again. However, facile assumptions about “life” don’t ever disappear. Because LIFE never stops. Until you’re in the box ????.
He felt he’d been lied to, but, he’s finally beginning to see that he’s just been used and herded and CONTROLLED, like all the other sheep, and he also wants to know, since everybody whom he feels has misled him was so willing to hand out free advice when he’d asked them, “What does someone DO with their life?”, he’d like to know, “what NOW?!?”…
But they’re all like, “I’m in the same boat as you. You let ME know when you figure it out”
Cuz, of course, Misery Loves Company.
