Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life   Trying 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    Ya know, the one that takes you    To the places where all the things meet, yeah      Wont change   I can't change (x3)   But i'm here in my mode   I am here in my mode   But I'm a million different people from one day to the next   I can't change my mode 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 yea   I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now   But the airways are clean and theres nobody singing to me now      Wont change   I can't change (x3)   But I'm here in my mode   I am here in my mode   And I'm a million different people from one day to the next   I can't change my mode no, no, no, no, no   (have u ever been down)   I can't change it   I can't change it      Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, thats life   Trying to make ends meet   Try to find some money then you die      And no,    I can't change (x4)   But im here in my mode   I am here in my mode   And I'm a million different people from one day to the next   I can't change my mode no, no, no, no, no
