Tainted

(Sound is all around us, everywhere)

I've noticed there's little faith anymore

But can you blame us? We're all gutter fighters

Waist deep, sewers overflow, blood and smoke on the radio

It's no good news when you know, you know

Hurtin' up in your ivory tower, cheap thrills and endless power

Left 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

Ooh, 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 what's in power, what's in 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

Amount of debt we cannot solve

Gone with a little wealth to spare, pull us from our hopeless prayer

Step up from your leather chair, a throne from which war is declared, oh

All of us, all

All of us so soon

All of us, all

All of us so soon

Ooh, 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 what's in power, what's in 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 what's in power, what's in power

Ooh, 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 what's in power, what's in power

Can you, can you

Can you do the right thing?
