I woke today
All the colors of the rainbow bend in different shades
Of grey
And it seems like a waste
Just to carry on like every other man takes his place
Without a trace
And no one knows just where we go
We try so hard to take control
We fight like hell just to lose it all
But please don't forget
They sold you a life you don't need
What if I told you, you could have it for free?
Do you feel you've taken a risk?
Or have you settled on this?
A life you won't miss when you're gone away
And who cares if I'm wrong?
Because I try to do right and hold my head high to keep strong
So what if I married a song?
It goes like this, sing along
They sold you a life you don't need
What if I told you, you could have it for free?
It's on the TV set, your radio
The big screen Hollywood picture show
And you can't get enough of a life you'll never live
All the colors of the rainbow bend in different shades
Of grey
And it seems like a waste
Just to carry on like every other man takes his place
Without a trace
And no one knows just where we go
We try so hard to take control
We fight like hell just to lose it all
But please don't forget
They sold you a life you don't need
What if I told you, you could have it for free?
Do you feel you've taken a risk?
Or have you settled on this?
A life you won't miss when you're gone away
And who cares if I'm wrong?
Because I try to do right and hold my head high to keep strong
So what if I married a song?
It goes like this, sing along
They sold you a life you don't need
What if I told you, you could have it for free?
It's on the TV set, your radio
The big screen Hollywood picture show
And you can't get enough of a life you'll never live
