'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony that's 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 veins meet, yeah
No change, I can change, I can change
I can 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
Have you ever been down?
Well, I 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 mold
And I'm 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
Have you ever been down?
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony that's 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 veins meet, yeah
Have you been down?
Have you been down?
Have you been down?
Have you been down?
