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 
You know the one that takes you to the places 
where all the veins meet yeah 
 [bad word] 2-

No change, I can't change 
I can change, I can change 
But I'm here in my mould 
But I'm here in my mould 
But I'm a million different people 
from one day to the next 
I can't change my mold 
No, no, no, no, no 
Have you ever been down 
Have you ever been down 
Verse 1-

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'll 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

 [bad word] 1-

We've got your  and violence, melody and silence 
We've got your  and silence, melody and sirens 

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
