Monkees - Shades Of Gray lyrics

By barry mann and cyntha weil<br><br>When the world and I were young,<br>Just yesterday.<br>Live was such a simple game,<br>A child could play.<br>It was easy then to tell right from wrong.<br>Easy then to tell weak from strong.<br>When a man should stand and fight,<br>Or just go along.<br><br>But today there is no day or night<br>Today there is no dark or light.<br>Today there is no black or white,<br>Only shades of gray.<br><br>I remember when the answers seemed so clear<br>We had never lived with doubt or tasted fear.<br>It was easy then to tell truth from lies<br>Selling out from compromise<br>Who to love and who to hate,<br>The foolish from the wise.<br><br>But today there is no day or night<br>Today there is no dark or light.<br>Today there is no black or white,<br>Only shades of gray.<br><br>[instumental interlude]<br><br>It was easy then to know what was fair<br>When to keep and when to share.<br>How much to protect your heart<br>And how much to care.<br><br>But today there is no day or night<br>Today there is no dark or light.<br>Today there is no black or white,<br>Only shades of gray.<br>Only shades of gray.
