"Bittersweet Symphony" lyrics
The Knocks & Foster The People Lyrics
(originally by The Verve)
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life
Tryna 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 mould
I am here in my mould
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould
No, no, no, no, no
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
Well, I've never prayed, 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 airwaves 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 mould
I am here in my mould
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould
No, no, no, no, no
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life
Tryna make ends meet, tryna find somebody, 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
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
Tryna 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 mould
I am here in my mould
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould
No, no, no, no, no
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
Well, I've never prayed, 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 airwaves 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 mould
I am here in my mould
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould
No, no, no, no, no
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life
Tryna make ends meet, tryna find somebody, 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
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
