I was an august baby
Conceived by the christmas lights
I came into the world by the setting sun
On a humid summer night
When my grandmother held me for the very first time
She thanked god i looked like
My daddy
And i never quite knew just
What she meant
But i knew she was a lit-tle too happy
And now i see
Chorus

You can’t change a stubborn mind
You can’t see the world if your eyes are blind
What does it matter anyway
In our
Darkest hour we’re all just shades of grey

They got married in a tiny chapel
1965
Malcolm x was on the radio
When he took her as his wife
And she looked so pretty that september day
And her older brother cried as he gave her away
And the minister looked like he didn’t know what to say
And then he spoke
Chorus
Solo

And when my grandmother held me
For the very first time
She thanked god
I looked like my daddy
And i never gave a
Damn just what she meant
But i knew she was a little too happy
And now i see

You can’t change a stubborn mind
You can’t see the world if your eyes are blind
What does it matter anyway
In our darkest hour we’re all just shades of grey
In our darkest hour we’re all just shades of

Darkest hour we’re all just
Shades of grey – hey, hey, hey
It doesn’t matter anyway don’t give a damn
Don’t give a damn
Don’t give a damn what they say
We’re all just shades of grey
We’re all just shades of grey
Shades of grey

Turn the radio on, they never play your favorite song
What’s the use of it all when all your colors fade away?
And there’s no-one to wonder why another rainy day
Is fading in and out of shades of grey like always
Fading in and out of shades of grey
Just one breath and you’ll fade away

Shadows hang on the walls, in the corners of your mind
Grandfather clock ticking on, counting all your wasted time

And there’s no-one to wonder why another rainy day
Is fading in and out of shades of grey like always
Fading in and out of shades of grey
Just one breath and you’ll fade away

No rainbows to follow
No rainbows tonight

Fall asleep on the couch, wrinkle all your clothes again
Don’t bother trying to reach out — there’s nothing there but an empty dream

And there’s no-one to wonder why another rainy day
Is fading in and out and fading in and out of shades of grey
Fading in and out of shades of grey
Fading in and out of shades of grey
Fading in and out of shades of grey like always

If you start here late no one will know what you did
No the streets are straight it’s the soul that’s crooked
I’ve been treated fine i’ve been treated elegantly
But i’m not one for bathing in the waters of plenty

East is east west is west
And bowery is screaming while delancey rests
Well i’m south of the skating but i’m north of the cash
I could sure use the money but i’m ashamed to ask

The traffic has buried all of last nights rain
The words are all different but the accent is the same

The sun is white and the moon is gray
And the river is black blue and green
The young are young and the old are old
And there are no shades of gray in between

There’s at least ten different strains of smoke in the air
And my prints are on them all to prove i was there
And i love the curses but i’m not one for the trenches
And i do love the walking but thank god for the benches

It’s hard to tell where green begins and the city gray stops
I guess the trees all bought their armor at second hand shops
My second had is working but the minute hand is broke again
I know time will pass but i don’t know when

The sun is white and the moon is gray
And the river is black blue and green
The young are young and the old are old
And there are no shades of gray in between
And there are no shades of gray in between

I know the great ones have been here but where i cant tell
There’s dreams here a plenty but they’re being withheld
And i’m more impressed with the closed doors than the ones that are open
The whole place tells time by a tower clock tha’ts broken

The pigeons are ravens and the gulls are vultures
And trash is art and cash is culture

The sun is white and the moon is gray
And the river is black blue and green
The young are young and the old are old
And there are no shades of gray in between
There are no shades of gray in between
There are no shades of gray in between

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 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
