'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life  Try to make ends meet  You're a slave to 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 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    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 airways 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  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  I can't change    'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life  Try to make ends meet  Try 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 things meet yeah     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  Can't change my body,  no, no, no    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  Have you ever been down?  Have you've ever been down?
