Life's One Act Play - Savoy Brown

My days are shaded gray

And my nights are shaded blue

My face is lined with worry

And my mind is split in two

Feel just like a man

Who’s last real hope is gone

Morality and religion

Didn’t teach me right from wrong

And I need a little something

Oh, just to mellow my days

'Cause I’m getting tired of acting

In lifes one act play

The world is changing fast

Ain’t got time to think twice

Wanna keep on the ball

Then you got to pay the price

You can’t judge the future

By looking at the past

And there ain’t nobody out there

Who you can stop and ask

Oh, I need a little something

Just to mellow my days

'Cause I’m getting tired of acting

In lifes one act play

Some people think, oh yes they do They found the way

But they’re a dime a dozen

You can see them everyday

Some people are happy

In their delusions

Oh, I wish sometimes

I could share, I could share their illusions

But nobody really knows

What this life is all about

Those who think they do Are the ones who should have doubts

Sometimes I wonder

What they are going to do When their cozy dreams are shattered

And reality shows through

Oh, I need a little something

Just to mellow my days

'Cause I’m getting tired of acting

In lifes one act play

And I need a little something

Just to mellow my days

'Cause I’m getting tired of acting

In lifes one act play

In lifes one act play

In lifes one act play

In lifes one act play
