Billy Joel - Shades Of Grey lyrics

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 colors I see

Once there were trenches and walls and one point of every view

Fight 'til 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 come to the enemy line

Black and white was so easy for me

But shades of grey are the colors 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 wherever I go

The more I find out the less that I know

Ain't no rainbows shining on me

Shades of grey are the colors I see
