"Bittersweet Symphony" lyrics

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying 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

I can change, I can change, I can change
I am 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
Oh, no, oh, 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 now
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

I can change, I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I'm here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
Oh, no, oh, no, no

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying 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

Have you ever been down?
I can't change my mold
I can't change my mold
Have you ever been down?
I can't change my mold
I can't change my mold...

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I can't change my mold
I can't change my mold...

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I can't change my mold
I can't change my mold...
