Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to the 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't change, I can't change, I can't change
But I'm 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, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 2]
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
[Verse 3]
Well I never pray
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
[Verse 4]
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change
But I'm 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, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 5]
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
