Lyrics

[Verse 1]
'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, this life
Tryin' to make ends meet
You're a slave to the money, then you die
I'll take you down the only road I have ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
Where all the veins meet, yeah
[Verse 2]
And no change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
I am here in my mould
Here in my mould
I am a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mould
No-no-no, no, no
[Verse 3]
Well, I never pray
But tonight, I am on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize this pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airwave's clean and there's nobody singin' to me now
[Verse 4]
And no change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
I am here in my mould
Here in my mould
I am a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mould
No-no-no, no, no
[Verse 5]
Have you've ever been down?
Have you've ever been down?
[Verse 6]
'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, this life
Tryna make ends meet
You're a slave to the money, then you die
And no, I cannot change
I can't change that I am here in my
I'll take you down the only road I have ever been down
[Verse 7]
And I change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
I am here in my mould
Here in my mould
I am a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mould
No-no, no, no, no
