Shades Of Grey

I make now a stand for belief that I'm steadfast

In hating all of the bullshit you give me doubt my future, present and past

Who are you to infringe your values upon me, I've learned the hard way

Stepping on my toes, you've put my back to the wall, my back to the wall

I've been told a thousand times to give respect when due

Why do you find it so hard to believe I've got none for you

It's my heart and my mind that I'll always follow, I will not break

Nor will my balls, altough that I've seen that you've tried

before

Why are people fake?

[Chorus:]

Maybe you're older, wiser on your own right, it's your mistake

I'm gonna do my own thing regardless, my choice to make

I am real, in touch with my feelings, and I know my place

You have shown, on the other hand, both sides of your face

I see the world in a different light

Things not always black and white

Through all these years still, to this day

My hardened eyes see only shades of grey

I would never try and tell you what was right from wrong

Maybe that's why you feel that I don't belong

Always put me down for things I've said and done

Can't you see it's a war that can't be won

[Lead]

A war that can't be won

Living in your world seems so clear and concise

Shutting out reality makes everything so nice

Paint a pretty picture black and white everyday

See my tattered canvass bleedign shades of grey

[Chorus]
