Raconteurs › Lyrics › Many Shades of Black

Go ahead, go ahead
And smash it on the floor
Take whatever's left
And take it with you out the door

See if I cry
See if I shed a single sorry tear
I can't say that it's been that great
No, in fact it's been a wasted free year

Everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And it's been that way too long

Take it as it comes
And be thankful when it's done
There's so many ways to act
And there's many shades of black
There's so many shades of black
There's so many shades of black

Let it out, let it all out
Say what's on your mind
You can kick and scream
And shout and say things
That are so unkind

Yeah, see if I care
And see if I stand firm or if I fall
'Cause in the back of my mind
And on the tip of my tongue
Is the answer to it all

And everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And it's been that way too long

Take it as it comes
And be thankful when it's done
There's so many ways to act
And there's many shades of black
There's so many shades of black
Yeah, there's many shades of black

Yeah, everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And it's been that way too long

So take it as it comes
And be thankful when it's done
There's so many ways to act
And you cannot take it back

No, you cannot take it back
As there's many shades of black
There's so many shades of black
Yeah, there's many shades of black

There's so many shades of black
There's so many shades of black
Yeah, there's many shades of black
There's so many shades of black

Yeah, there's many shades of black
There's so many shades of black
Go ahead
