Tainted - Tender

I’ve noticed there’s little faith anymore

But can you blame us?

We’re all gutter fighters

Waste deep, sewers overflow

Blood and smoke on the radio

It’s all good news

When you know, you know

Hiding out in your ivory tower

Cheap thrills and endless power

Lives to devour, hour by hour

When there’s no-one else left to offend

Tell yourself and try to pretend

It’s you, it’s only you

Oh, can you look me in the face

And tell me I’m not good enough to be in your place

I don’t deserve the time, can’t get the space

Can’t scream any louder

Tainted by worth and power

Worth and power

Can you

Can you

Can you do the right thing?

I’ve noticed there’s little faith anymore

But can you blame us?

We’ll hold our breath and take the plunge

A mounting debt, we count on some

One with a little wealth to spare

Pull us from our helpless prayer

Step up from your leather chair

A throne from which war is declared, oh

All of us so

All of us so soon

All of us so

All of us so soon

Oh, can you look me in the face

And tell me I’m not good enough to be in your place

I don’t deserve the time, can’t get the space

Can’t scream any louder

Tainted by worth and power

Worth and power

Look me in the face

And tell me I’m not good enough to be in your place

I don’t deserve the time, can’t get the space

Can’t scream any louder

Tainted by worth and power

Worth and power

Oh, can you look me in the face

And tell me I’m not good enough to be in your place

I don’t deserve the time, can’t get the space

Can’t scream any louder

Tainted by worth and power

Worth and power

Can you

Can you

Can you do the right thing?
