'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, that's life
Try 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 things meet, yeah
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't 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?)
Well I've never prayed
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognise 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't change, I can't change, I can't 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, I can't change...)
'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, that's life
Try to make ends meet, try 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 things meet, yeah
You know I can't change, I can't change, I can't 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
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(Been down)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)
(Have you ever been down?)
