′Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You′re a slave to the 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
Here in my mold
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?
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
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I′m here in my mold
Here in my mold
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?
It's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
Try to find some money then you die, then you die
I'll take you down the only road I′ve ever been down, been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
Where all the things meet yeah
′Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
