lyrics

Years ago the technicolor TV would capture our reality
All the hues and all the many shades we experience each and every day
Lately things they don't seem of that kind
It seems as though we hit the rewind
Even though things weren't perfectly clear
They colors were there and we were getting near

Start the countdown again
All the way from ten
Then repeat this my friend cause we're back
In black and white again

Can it be that we're living the same day over the same way
Let me know my friend if there ever will come an end
To live in a world that is so damn unnerving
Seems so unswerving
Just to know that you'll wake up and be in show
That's black and white again

I've seen this rerun a million time
To my the jokes they just don't jive
All the characters with their hopes and dreads
I hear their theme songs playing in my head
Right when you think we might finally be done
That's when they go and draw a gun
Right when you think you've heard the final applause
That's when you see that we've been stuck on pause

Start the countdown again
All the way from ten
Then repeat this my friend cause we're back
In black and white again

Can it be that we're living the same day over the same way
Let me know my friend if there ever will come an end
To live in a world that is so damn unnerving
Seems so unswerving
Just to know that you'll wake up and be in show
That's black and white again

Black
Black and white
Black and white again

Start the countdown again
All the way from ten
Then repeat this my friend cause we're back
In black and white again

Can it be that we're living the same day over the same way
Let me know my friend if there ever will come an end
To live in a world that is so damn unnerving
Seems so unswerving
Just to know that you'll wake up and be in show
That's black and white again
