I make now a stand for belief that I`m steadfast
In hating all of the bulls**t you give me
About my future, present and past

Who are you to infringe your values upon me?
(I`ve learned the hard way)
Stepping on my toes, you`ve put my back to the wall
(My back to the wall)

I`ve been told a thousand times to give respect when due
Why do you find it so hard to believe, I`ve got none for you

It`s my heart and my mind that I`ll always follow
(I will not break)
Nor will my balls although that I`ve seen that you`ve tried before
(Why are people fake?)

Maybe you`re older, wiser in your own right, it`s your mistake
I`m gonna do my own thing regardless, my choice to make
I am real, in touch with my feelings and I know my place
You have shown, on the other hand, both sides of your face

I see the world in a different light
Things are always black and white
Through all these years still to this day
My hardened eyes see only shades of grey

I would never try and tell you what was right from wrong
Maybe that`s why you feel that I don`t belong
Always put me down for things I`ve said and done
Can`t you see it`s a war that can`t be won

A war that can`t be won

Living in your world seems so clear on concise
Shutting out reality makes everything so nice
Paint a pretty picture, black and white everyday
See my tattered canvass bleeding shades of grey

Maybe you`re older, wiser in your own right, it`s your mistake
I`m gonna do my own thing regardless my choice to make

Shades of f**king grey
