CHEWIE - 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 me 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
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
Sometimes it's in one door and
It's out the other
Sometimes it's in one door and I'm goin' home

There are billions of other people in this
World and no-one has a clue
Take these words please
Don't keep them 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

We have all been down
(I picked the right one
I picked the right one now)
We have all been down
(I picked the long way
The long way to the ground)
We have all been down
(I picked the right one
I picked the right one now)
We have all been down
(I picked the long way
The long way to the ground)
