Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions, clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time
[Chorus]
Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose
[Bridge]
Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns
Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around
Look at yourself, look at yourself
Yeah, yeah
Look at yourself, look at yourself
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
To divide the cockeyed world in two
Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you can do
Beatniks and politics, nothing is new
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view
[Chorus]
Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose
[Verse 3]
Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time
[Chorus]
Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose
[Outro]
Incense, peppermints
Incense, peppermints
