Many Shades Of Black



Go ahead, Go ahead
And smash it on the floor
Take whatevers left
And take it with you out the door

See if I cry
See if I shed a single sorry tear
I can’t say that it’s been that great
No, in fact it’s been a wasted worried year


Everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And it’s been that way too long

Take it as it comes
And be thankful when its done
Theres so many ways to act
And theres many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black


Let it out (let it all out) let it all out
Say whats on your mind
You can kick and scream
And shout and say things
That are so unkind.

Yeah, see if I care
And see if I stand firm or if I fall
Cause in the back of my mind
And on the tip of my tongue
Is the answer to it all


And everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And its been that way too long

Take it as it comes
And be thankful when its done
Theres so many ways to act
And theres many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black
Yeah, theres many shades of black


Yeah, everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And its been that way too long

So take it as it comes
And be thankful when its done
Theres so many ways to act
And you cannot take it back
No you cannot take it back
Theres so many shades of black,
Theres so many shades of black,
Yeah, there’s many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black
Yeah, there’s many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black
Yeah, there’s many shades of black
Theres so many shades of black


Oh yeah...
