Shades of gray (master backing track take 98)


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 answer 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
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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Monkees are an American musical group formed in 1965. The group consisted of Michael Nesmith, Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork. They were chosen to star in a successful comedy television show aired on NBC from 1966 to 1968. Their music, initially conceived as the soundtrack for the TV series, proved surprisingly popular, achieving commercial success with a blend of pop, rock and psychedelia. The Monkees sold millions of records worldwide, scoring numerous hits including "Last Train to Clarksville", "I'm a Believer" and "Daydream Believer". Despite their short active career as a group (1965-1970), The Monkees left an indelible mark on the history of 1960s pop music, influencing generations of musicians.
