'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah
No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now yeah, yeah, yeah
But, I said no change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, noooooo
Have you ever been down?
Said been down?
Have you ever been down? yeah
Have you ever been down?
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony yeah yeah
And it's a bittersweet symphony yeah yeah
