Tainted Past

[Verse 1]
The cynical view that has been taken is blowing my mind
I can't seem to piece it all together
I guess it takes time to unwind
To let, to let the dust settle and let cooler heads prevail
Oh, woah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Each and every day I rise from the ashes I've left behind
To start anew, push through
They say it's not meant to be, well I'm parting the sea

[Chorus]
Oh, got to let go
Move on from a tainted past
Oh, I'll never know
Fall out from a tainted past

[Verse 2]
The selfish greedy world we live in is making me mad
It's always give me every marble then kiss my ass

[Pre-Chorus]
Each and every day I rise from the ashes I've left behind
To start anew, push through
If you go for the green you'll soon see what I mean

[Chorus]
Oh, got to let go
Move on from a tainted past
Oh, I'll never know
Fall out from a tainted past

[Bridge]
Tainted past
Why should anyone finish last?
Tainted past
You needn't be a saint, all you need is lots of cash

Why did it end this way?
I'll never understand why my world is grey

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
When you combine heartache with misery
Sets up a challenge for destiny

[Pre-Chorus]
Each and every day I rise from the ashes I've left behind
To start anew, push through
They say it's not meant to be, well I'm parting the sea

[Chorus]
Oh, got to let go
Move on from a tainted past
Oh, I'll never know
Fall out from a tainted past
Oh, got to let go
Move on from a tainted past
Oh, I'll never know
Fall out from a tainted past

[Outro]
I'll never understand why my world is grey
But the future lies dead ahead
Why my world is grey
I'll never understand why my world is grey
But the future lies dead ahead
