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.
