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
have you ever been down?
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.
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, no, no
（well have you ever been down?）（
cause it′s a bittersweet symphony this life.
trying to make ends meet, trying to
find some money then you die.
it′s just *** and violence melody and silence
it′s just *** and violence melody and silence
have you ever been down?
