Life's One Act Play

My days are shaded grayAnd my nights are shaded blueMy face is lined with worryAnd my mind is split in twoFeel just like a manWho's last real hope is goneMorality and religionDidn't teach me right from wrongAnd I need a little somethingOh, just to mellow my days'Cause I'm getting tired of actingIn lifes one act playThe world is changing fastAin't got time to think twiceWanna keep on the ballThen you got to pay the priceYou can't judge the futureBy looking at the pastAnd there ain't nobody out thereWho you can stop and askOh, I need a little somethingJust to mellow my days'Cause I'm getting tired of actingIn lifes one act playSome people think, oh yes they doThey found the wayBut they're a dime a dozenYou can see them everydaySome people are happyIn their delusionsOh, I wish sometimesI could share, I could share their illusionsBut nobody really knowsWhat this life is all aboutThose who think they doAre the ones who should have doubtsSometimes I wonderWhat they are going to doWhen their cozy dreams are shatteredAnd reality shows throughOh, I need a little somethingJust to mellow my days'Cause I'm getting tired of actingIn lifes one act playAnd I need a little somethingJust to mellow my days'Cause I'm getting tired of actingIn lifes one act playIn lifes one act playIn lifes one act playIn lifes one act play
