My days are shaded graynAnd my nights are shaded bluenMy face is lined with worrynAnd my mind is split in twonnFeel just like a mannWho's last real hope is gonenMorality and religionnDidn't teach me right from wrongnnAnd I need a little somethingnOh, just to mellow my daysn'Cause I'm getting tired of actingnIn lifes one act playnnThe world is changing fastnAin't got time to think twicenWanna keep on the ballnThen you got to pay the pricenYou can't judge the futurenBy looking at the pastnAnd there ain't nobody out therenWho you can stop and asknnOh, I need a little somethingnJust to mellow my daysn'Cause I'm getting tired of actingnIn lifes one act playnnSome people think, oh yes they donThey found the waynBut they're a dime a dozennYou can see them everydaynSome people are happynIn their delusionsnOh, I wish sometimesnI could share, I could share their illusionsnnBut nobody really knowsnWhat this life is all aboutnThose who think they donAre the ones who should have doubtsnSometimes I wondernWhat they are going to donWhen their cozy dreams are shatterednAnd reality shows throughnnOh, I need a little somethingnJust to mellow my daysn'Cause I'm getting tired of actingnIn lifes one act playnnAnd I need a little somethingnJust to mellow my daysn'Cause I'm getting tired of actingnIn lifes one act playnIn lifes one act playnIn lifes one act playnIn lifes one act play
