|
There's a young Mother with three children
|
Got a stable income and a faithful husband, too.
|
She's searchin' for her life's meanin',
|
So she says to her shrink, "I'm leavin' home soon!"
|
Just decided that she couldn't take it anymore,
|
Didn't look back, she just snuck out the back door-
|
|
Chorus:
|
What is wrong with this picture?
|
We applaud this behavior
|
Admire how she breaks away-
|
Oh, it's so clearly cloudy, in the land of the grey.
|
|
There's a young Senator,
|
Gifted politician,
|
So consumed by pursuing his career.
|
Use to care about what the people wanted,
|
But now he's learned how to say what they wanna hear.
|
A million lies and scandals bear his name,
|
But you'll never see him hide his face in shame-
|
|
Chorus:
|
What is wrong with this picture?
|
We applaud this behavior
|
He's a hero if he makes mistakes-
|
Oh, it's so clearly cloudy in the land of the grey.
|
|
What's wrong? What's right? Absolute confusion.
|
What's black? What's white? Everything looks hazy.
|
Such scenarios bring me to only one conclusion-
|
Maybe we've all gone crazy.
|
|
Three little kids are prayin' Mama comes home,
|
And a little town feels violated and betrayed.
|
Meanwhile, two very unhappy people
|
Try to excuse the messes that they've made.
|
But you'll never hear it stated quite that way,
|
We can't handle it here in the land of the grey.
