Shades of Grey

Lyrics

Ba ba baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!
 Ba ba baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!
 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
 Ba ba baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Ba ba Daduwa Taa!
 Ba ba baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!
 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 look to the enemy line
 Black and white was so easy for me
 But shades of grey are the colors I see
 Ba ba baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!
 Ba ba baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!
 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 line
 There ain't no rainbows shining on me
 Shades of grey are the colors I see
 Shades of grey wherever I go
 The more I find out, the less that I know
 There ain't no rainbows shining on me
 Shades of grey are the colors I see
 ♪
 Ba ba baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!
 Ba ba baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Ba ba Baduwa Taa!
 Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
