Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this life
Try 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 things meet, yeah

No change, I can change, I can change, I can 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, 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

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

Have you ever been down?
I can change, I can change

Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, try to find somebody then you die
You know I can change, I can change, I can change,
But I'm here in my mould, I am here in my mould
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Well it's just sex and violence, melody and silence
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
(Have you ever been down)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
