Shades of Green and Grey by The Amboy Dukes Lyrics

[First Verse]
Walk down any street
Look into the eyes you meet
Aren't they filled with hate and hell?
You can tell they're not complete
Look into their minds
Search and tell me what you find
They just want to get ahead
They are living dead

[Chorus]
But their words mean nothing to the riverbanks
And their hate can't make love cease
And they just can't hide their babies' eyes
To the new idea of peace
But as I sit beneath the sky
I forget I'm going to die
Watching shades of green and grey go by

[Second Verse]
Look into their souls
See them quickly growing old
They strive for wealth
But when they die
They'll have no more than I
[Chorus]
But their words mean nothing to the riverbanks
And their hate can't make love cease
And they just can't hide their babies' eyes
To the new idea of peace
But as I sit beneath the sky
I forget I'm going to die
Watching shades of green and grey go by

[Third Verse]
But their greed can't stop my will to kill
And their blindness makes me see
But their death will prove [?] to me
[?]

[Outro]
But as I sit beneath the sky
I forget I'm going to die
Watching shades of green and grey....
And grey... and grey...
