Forty Shades of Grey - Chewie

All shades are grey with no end in sight

So we turned the lock and key and held the night-light tight

When it feels just like the sun will never touch this place

We spent our lives just counting lines and pulling out greys

Keep it up, son

Keep it up

You’re doin' alright, it’s just a broken heart in a dole queue line

You’ll never teach an old dog, teach an old dog new tricks

You watch your grave get deeper with every shovel you dig

I met an old man on the street the other day

He taught me about the right and wrongs of having your way

He said «You'll never win it if you play life like a game

Or if you look straight through a person just for something to gain

There is no baby born in this life that is better than you

There is no feudal forced agenda in the womb, it’s true

The cross and crown have left it a little hard to cope

But you’ll never lose sight if you never lose hope.»

[Pre-Chorus

There are billions of other people in this world and no-one has a clue

Take these words please don’t keep them to yourself

Because these words are all I have to give to you

We have all been down, that’s the way life is

We have all worn frowns instead of smiling, kid

We have all been down, but we’ll get up again

Not all kings wear crowns, at least you have your friends

Intelligence seemed a solid ground

But when you try to pin it down you see that holes are found

«Dumb» just means you missed the point

Or else you’re working on a different level

Never let them tell you that you’re thick

Or that you’re underachieving

They’re the ones who picked your goals

So don’t believe them when they say «You've let yourself down, let us all down.»

Beside my college is an unemployment office, there’s a nightclub next to a

funeral home

Beside my college is an unemployment office, there’s a nightclub next to a

funeral home

Sometimes it’s in one door and it’s out the other, sometimes it’s in one door

and I’m goin' home

Sometimes it’s in one door and it’s out the other, sometimes it’s in one door

and I’m goin' home

There are billions of other people in this world and no-one has a clue

Take these words please don’t keep them to you

We have all been down, that’s the way life is

We have all worn frowns instead of smiling, kid

We have all been down, but we’ll get up again

Not all kings wear crowns, at least you have your friends

We have all been down (I picked the right one, I picked the right one now)

We have all been down (I picked the long way, the long way to the ground)

We have all been down (I picked the right one, I picked the right one now)

We have all been down (I picked the long way, the long way to the ground)
