Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well someone told me they saw you today, you're pretty much the same
you're living life the same old way,
you're driving everyone insane
I tried to call you to see for myself, just what the hell was going down
but your message said you don't need no help and you don't ]want no one around
because
[Chorus]
You're living a black-and-white life
there's a blindness in your eyes
can't see no difference from the [G]wrong or the right
no matter how hard you try and l know baby you try, you got those tears in your eyes, I just don't know why
[Verse 2]
smoking cigarettes and watching TV always reminds me of you
and all the things you used to think you could be, one of the chosen few
Life so short in there so little time to realize all our dreams
and when you see them in black-and-white there never all that they seem
[Chorus]
[guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
change the channel it's getting old I've seen this movie before
it's the same story you've always told, don't want to hear it no more because
someday soon they're going to put you away an
[Instrumental solo1]
[Chorus]
You're living a black-and-white life
There’s a blindness in your eyes
Can’t see no difference from the wrong or the right
No matter how hard you try (I don’t know why)
[Bridge]
And I know
baby you try
You’ve got those tears in your eyes (tears in your eyes)
I just don't know why (I don’t know why)
[Verse 4]
All the colors that you had to choose from
But you refused to see
And now your day of truth has come
Black-and-white reality
[Chorus]
You're living a black-and-white life
There’s a blindness in your eyes
Can’t see no difference from the wrong or the right
No matter how hard you try (I don’t know why)
[Bridge]
And I know
baby you try
You’ve got those tears in your eyes (tears in your eyes)
I just don't know why (I don’t know why)
[Outro]
You’ve got those tears in your eyes
I just don’t know why (I don’t know why)
Black and White life (Black and white life)
Black and White life (Black and white life)
Black and White life (Black and white life)
Black and White life (Black and white life)
[End]
