Lyrics Shades Of Gray [Master Backing Track Take 98] - The Monkees
By
Barry
Mann
and
Cyntha
Weil
When
the
world
and
I
were
young,
Just
yesterday.
Life
was
such
a
simple
game,
A
child
could
play.
It
was
easy
then
to
tell
right
from
wrong.
Easy
then
to
tell
weak
from
strong.
When
a
man
should
stand
and
fight,
Or
just
go
along.
But
today
there
is
no
day
or
night
Today
there
is
no
dark
or
light.
Today
there
is
no
black
or
white,
Only
shades
of
gray.
I
remember
when
the
answers
seemed
so
clear
We
had
never
lived
with
doubt
or
tasted
fear.
It
was
easy
then
to
tell
truth
from
lies
Selling
out
from
compromise
Who
to
love
and
who
to
hate,
The
foolish
from
the
wise.
But
today
there
is
no
day
or
night
Today
there
is
no
dark
or
light.
Today
there
is
no
black
or
white,
Only
shades
of
gray.
(Instumental
interlude)
It
was
easy
then
to
know
what
was
fair
When
to
keep
and
when
to
share.
How
much
to
protect
your
heart
And
how
much
to
care.
But
today
there
is
no
day
or
night
Today
there
is
no
dark
or
light.
Today
there
is
no
black
or
white,
Only
shades
of
gray.
Only
shades
of
gray.
