Bitter Sweet Symphony (Extended Version)

'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 change, I can change, I can 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

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 change, I can change, I can 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 it you know, I can't change it

'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this life

Trying to make ends meet

Trying 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 veins meet, yeah

You know I can change, I can change

I can change, I can 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

You've gotta change

It's just sex and violence, melody and silence

Gotta, sex and violence, melody and silence

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

Ever been down

Have you ever been down?

Have you ever been down?
