Lyrics

Cause it's a bitter sweet 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

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't change, I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no

Have you ever been down?
I can't change, I can't change..

Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find somebody 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't change, I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
///I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no///

(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(It justs sex and violence melody and silence)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(Been down)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)(lalalalalalaaaaaaaa...)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)
(Have you ever been down?)
(Have you ever been down?)
(Have you ever been down?)
