'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, that's 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
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
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
And 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?
I can't change it you know, I can't change it
Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, that's life
Trying to make ends meet
Trying to find some 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
You know I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mould
I am here in my mould
And I'm a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
