Tender – Tainted lyrics
[Intro]
Sound is all around us, everywhere

[Refrain]
I’ve noticed there’s little faith anymore
But can you blame us?

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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?

[Refrain]
I’ve noticed there’s little faith anymore
But can you blame us?

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Can you
Can you
Can you do the right thing?
