Lyrics Shades of Grey - The Monkees
When
the
world
and
I
were
young,
Just
yesterday.
Life
was
such
a
simple
game,
A
child
could
play.
It
was
easier
than
to
tell
right
from
wrong,
Easier
than
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
answer
Seemed
so
clear.
We
had
never
lived
without
Or
tasted
fear.
It
was
easier
than
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.
It
was
easier
than
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.
