'Cause it's a bittersweet 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, no, no
+
(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
+
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 bittersweet 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
+
I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
+
I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
+
You've gotta change my mould, no, no, no
+
(It's just sex and violence, melody and silence)
+
(Gotta, can't change my violence, melody and silence)
+
(Gotta can't change my violence, melody and silence)
+
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
+
(Gotta, can't change my violence, melody and silence)
+
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
+
(Gotta, can't change my violence, melody and silence)
+
Been down
+
Ever been down
+
(Can't change my violence, melody and silence)
+
Ever been down
+
Ever been down
+
Ever been down
+
Have you ever been down?
+
Have you ever been down?
