lyrics

If I lean too far that way
I might fall, Lord. I might stray
who's to say? You can call me Mr. Gray.

Some say white. Some say black.
Life's too messy for all of that.
I play it safe; you can call me Mr. Gray

See we’re treadin’ through these murky waters,
Treadin’ through the snakes.
Steppin’ on false prophets who’ve been suffrin' from the shakes.
I wish it was simple, Lord. I wish it was clear
But I don't see no simple way out of here

They tell me to live upright. Follow the rules
She votes red but, uh, he votes blue
Who knows the way? I always vote Gray

Life’s too messy for all of that.
We chew the bone while they suck the fat
Now, why is that OK? Hey, I'm just Mr. Gray

See we’re treadin’ through these murky waters,
Treadin’ through the snakes.
Steppin’ on false prophets who’ve been suffrin' from the shakes.
I wish it was simple, Lord. I wish it was clear
But I don't see no simple way out of here

What's your truth and where did you find it?
What’s that golden nugget and who dun mined it?
Where's your crystal ball and for whom did you shine it?
What's the contract to your soul and did the devil sign it?!

You'se all wrong and well, I'ms all right
We can fuss and fight all night
who knows the way? You can call me Mr. Gray.
She says black but, uh, he says white.
And uh, we can fuss and fight all night,
Who knows the way? You can call me Mr. Gray.

See we’re treadin’ through these murky waters,
Treadin’ through the snakes.
Steppin’ on false prophets who’ve been suffrin' from the shakes.
I wish it was simple, Lord. I wish it was clear
But I don't see no simple way out of here


I aint Lenin, I aint Che
I aint Reagan and I aint Gaddafi
What can I say?
You can call me Mr. Grey
You can call me Mr. Gray
You can call me Mr. Gray…
