Forty Shades of Grey

All shades of grey with no end in sight,
 So we turn the lock and key and hold the night-light tight
 When it feels just like the sun will never touch this place
 And we've 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
 But you'll never teach an old dog, teach an old dog new tricks
 But you'll watch your grave get deeper with every shovel you dig
 I met an old man on the street the other day,
 And he taught be about the right and wrongs of having your way
 He said "You'll never win it if you play life like a game,
 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 just 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
 Seems 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 you're underachieving
 They're the ones who picked the goals,
 So don't believe them when they say
 "You've let yourself down, let us all down"

 Well it's in one door and I'm goin' home
