Shades Of Grey
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 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
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
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
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
