lyrics

Beige

I’m afraid of beige and what it can do
I’m afraid of beige and what it’s done to you
You live in a world neither here nor there
You live in a world where all you care about is beige

I’m afraid of beige it’s a neutral hue
It don’t say nothin’ like black or blue
Yellow, orange, purple or red make you feel alive
But now I feelin’ brain dead from all this beige, beige

Your house is beige, your car is beige,
your couch is beige nd so are your clothes
Nothing bothers you girl you’re cool and composed
But inside your head you rant and rage Screaming silently while you’re drowning in beige, beige

But everything’s gonna be just fine now
Everything’s gonna be alright
All you needed was a little brown now
A little brown and a whole lotta white make beige

Gold shows that you’ve got money
Grey shows that you’ve got age
Nobody’s green with envy
You locked yourself inside a cage
Painted beige, beige

I’m afraid of beige, it’s subtle but strong
I’m afraid of beige, it’s a one note song
