There's a young Mother with three children   Got a stable income and a faithful husband, too   She's searchin' for her life's meanin'   So she says to her shrink, "I'm leavin' home soon!"   Just decided that 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 gray      There's a young Senator, gifted politician   So consumed by pursuing his career   Use to care about what the people wanted   But now he's learned how to say what they wanna 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 gray      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 are prayin', 'Mama comes home'   And a little town feels violated and betrayed   Meanwhile, two very unhappy people   Try to excuse the messes that they've made   But you'll never hear it stated quite that way   We can't handle it here in the land of the gray
