Shades of Grey
Some things were perfectly clear, seen with the vision of youthNo doubts and nothing to fear, I claimed the corner on truthThese days it's harder to say I know what I'm fighting forMy faith is falling awayI'm not that sure anymore
Shades of grey wherever I goThe more I find out the less that I knowBlack and white is how it should beBut shades of grey are the colors I see
Once there were trenches and walls and one point of every viewFight 'til the other man fallsKill him before he kills youThese days the edges are blurred, I'm old and tired of warI hear the other man's wordsI'm not that sure anymore
Shades of grey are all that I findWhen I look to the enemy lineBlack and white was so easy for meBut shades of grey are the colors I see
Now with the wisdom of years I try to reason things outAnd the only people I fear are those who never have doubtsSave us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they're forI won't be righteous againI'm not that sure anymore
Shades of grey wherever I goThe more I find out the less that I knowAin't no rainbows shining on meShades of grey are the colors I see
