Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song with a group of musicians who put together the tune. I came up with the words after a bad day at work where a co-worker had been really judgemental of me, which pissed me off.

Lyrics
© April 2001 SHADES OF GREY
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME, BUT YOU DON?T
YOU THINK YOU?LL SHOW ME, BUT YOU WON?T
ONE DAY YOU?RE GONNA LEARN
SIMPLE LESSONS ALWAYS TURN
SHADES OF GREY
YOU THINK ITS EASY, BUT IT?S NOT
YOU CLING TO RULES YOU?VE BEEN TAUGHT
YOU?RE YOUNG AND DO NOT KNOW
LIFE?S WATERS TEND TO FLOW
SHADES OF GREY, OH YAH
CHORUS:
THERE IS NO BLACK OR WHITE
THERE IS NO WRONG OR RIGHT
NOBODY WINS THE FIGHT
SHADES OF GREY, SHADES OF GREY
YOU?LL THINK YOU?LL CHANGE IT, BUT YOU CAN?T
TRY AND REARRANGE LINES THAT SLANT
LIKE WRITTEN WARNINGS YOU DON?T HEED
INK ON PAPER STARTS TO BLEED
SHADES OF GREY
CHORUS:
THERE IS NO BLACK OR WHITE
THERE IS NO WRONG OR RIGHT
NOBODY WINS THE FIGHT
SHADES OF GREY, SHADES OF GREY
TAG:
LIKE AN OLD TIME MOVIE MADE
BLACK AND WHITE: WORDS DISPLAYED
COLD EMOTIONS SIMPLY FADE
SHADES OF GREY, SHADES OF GREY, AHHH, OHHH, SHADES OF GRAY
