How come every picture on the evening news

Always leads you to someone dying?

And how come every story that I hear from you

Makes my brown eyes blue, leaves me crying?

When you look behind their eyes, can you see it there?

'Cause it's everywhere

There's gotta be an answer

What is wrong, what is right?

Why is it always black or white?

What about the middle or in between?

What does it mean?

What is wrong, what is right?

Why is it always black or white?

What about the middle or in between?

What does it mean?

Oh, tell me, what does it mean?

How come each decision must be do or don't?

Must be will or won't, never maybe

Seems we need permission just to hesitate

If we sit and wait, are we crazy?

Baby, I'm afraid that when we leave no room for doubt

They'll just take you out

There's gotta be an answer

What is wrong, what is right?

Why is it always black or white?

What about the middle or in between?

What does it mean?

What is wrong, what is right?

Why is it always black or white?

What about the middle or in between?

What does it mean?

Oh, tell me, what does it mean?

They might pull a gun just to see how fast you run

But someday, baby, they might push too hard

Maybe then they'll learn why this woman won't be turned

'Cause they can't steal the love that's in your heart

What is wrong, what is right?

Why is it always black or white?

What about the middle or in between?

What does it mean?

What is wrong, what is right?

Why is it always black or white?

What about the middle or in between?

What does it mean?

Oh, tell me, what does it mean?
