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 the dust settle
   And let cooler heads prevail
   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
  
   Got to let go
   Move on from a tainted past
   I'll never know
   Fall out from a tainted past
  
   The selfish greedy world we live in
   Is making me mad
   It's always give me every marble
   Then kiss my ass
  
   Each and every day I rise
   From the ashes I've left behind
   To start anew push through
   If you go for the green Y
   ou'll soon see what I mean
  
   Got to let go
   Move on from a tainted past
   I'll never know
   Fall out from a tainted past
  
   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
  
   When you combine heartache
   With misery
   Sets up a challenge
   For destiny
  
   Each and every day I rise
   From the ashes I've left behind
   To start anew push through T
   hey say it's not meant to be
   Well I'm parting the sea
  
   Got to let go
   Move on from a tainted past
   I'll never know F
   all out from a tainted past
