Shades of Grey (by Billy Joel)

Some things were perfectly clear
Seen with the vision of youth
No doubts and nothing to fear
I claimed the corner on truth
These days, it's harder to say
I know what I'm fighting for
My faith is falling away
I'm not that sure anymore....

Shades of grey, wherever I go
The more I find out, the less that I know
Black and white is how it should be
But shades of grey are the colours I see

Once there were trenches and walls
One point of every view
Fight till the other man falls
Kill him before he kills you
These days, the edges are blurred
I'm old and tired of war
I hear the other man's words
I'm not that sure anymore....

Shades of grey, are all that I find
When I look to the enemy lines
Black and white was so easy for me
But shades of grey are the colours I see

Now with the wisdom of years
I try to reason things out
And the only people I fear
Are those who never have doubts
Save us all from arrogant men
And all the causes they're for
I won't be righteous again
I'm not that sure anymore....

Shades of grey, are all that I find
When I look to the enemy lines
There ain't no rainbow shinin' on me
Shades of grey are the colours I see
Shades of grey, wherever I go
The more I find out, the less that I know
There ain't no rainbow shinin' on me
Shades of grey are the colours I see
