[Verse 1]
'Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony, my life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to money, then you die
I wanna 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
I am 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
Oh, no, oh, no, no

[Post-Chorus]
Have you еver been down?
Have you evеr been down?

[Verse 2]
Well, I never pray, but tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me now
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

[Chorus]
No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
I am 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
Oh, no, oh, no, no

[Post-Chorus]
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?

[Verse 2]
Well, it's a bittersweet symphony, my life
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money, then you die
I wanna 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
I am 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
Oh, no, oh, no, no

[Outro]
I got your sex and violence
Melody and silence
I got your sex and violence
Melody and silence
Got your sex and violence
Melody and silence
Got your sex and violence
Melody and silence
Come on
Yeah
I wanna take you down the only road I've ever been down
I wanna take you down the only road I’ve ever been down
'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, yeah
'Cause it’s a bitter sweet symphony, yeah
'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, yeah
My life
Our lives
Yeah
