There's a young Mother with three children
Got a stable income and a faithful husband, too
She's searching for her life's meaning,
So she says to her shrink, "?I'm leaving home soon!"?
Just decided she couldn't take it anymore,
Didn't look back, she just snuck out the back door-

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 people wanted,
But know he's learned how to say what they want to hear
A million lies and scandals bear his name,
But you'll never see him hide his face in shame-

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 praying moma come home,
And a little town feels violated and betrayed
Meanwhile, two very unhappy people
Try to excuse the messes they've made
But you'll never hear it stated quiet that way,
We can handle it here in the land of the grey
