'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the 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't change, I can't change, I can't 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've never prayed, 
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 airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change, 
but I'm here in my mold , I am here with 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

(Well have you ever been down?) 
(I can't change, I can't change...)
(Ooooohhhhh...) 

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life 
Trying to make ends meet, trying 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 veins meet, yeah 
You know I can't change, I can't change, I can't 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

(It justs  and violence melody and silence) 
(It justs  and violence melody and silence) 
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down) 
(It justs  and violence melody and silence) 
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down) 
(Been down) 
(Ever been down) 
(Ever been down)(Lalalalalalaaaaaaaa...)
(Ever been down)
(Ever been down)
(Have you ever been down?)
(Have you ever been down?)
(Have you ever been down?)
