Lyrics of Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve
verse
'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, that's life
verse
Tryin' to make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die
verse
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
chorus
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 mould, no, no, no, no, no
(Have you ever been down?)
verse
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
verse
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
verse
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
chorus
No change, I can change, I can change, I can 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 mould, no, no, no, no, no
(Have you ever been down?)
I can't change it you know
I can't change it
verse
'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, that's life
verse
Tryin' to make ends meet, tryin' to find some money then you die
verse
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
verse
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
chorus
You know, I can change, I can change, I can change, I can 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
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
bridge
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
It's just I can't change my violence, melody and violence
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down (sex and violence, melody and silence)
It's just I can't change my violence, melody and silence
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down (sex and violence, melody and silence)
outro
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
Writer(s): Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Richard Paul Ashcroft
