Bittersweet Symphony

Verse 1:
Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this 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...
You know the one that takes you to the places
Where all the things meet, yeah.

Bridge:
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mould, I am here in my mould.
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next...
I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no, no

Well I've never prayed,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah.
I need to hear some sounds that recognise 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.

Bridge
Have you ever been down?
I can't change, I can't change...

Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life.
Try to make ends meet, try to find somebody 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.

Bridge

2x
I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no, no

Repeat to fade:
We've got ya sex and violence melody and silence
(I'll take you down the only road I've been down)
