Chewing on Tinfoil - Forty Shades Of Grey lyrics

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 be 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." 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 Sometimes it's in one door and it's out the other Sometimes it's in one door and I'm goin' home
