'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony That's life Tryna 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 planes meet, yeah No change, I can change I can change, I can 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 (Have you ever been down?) 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 singin' to me now No change, I can change I can change, I can 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 (Have you ever been down?) 'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony That's life Tryna make ends meet Tryna 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 planes meet, yeah You know I can change, I can change I can change, I can 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 To change my balance, melody and violence Got To change my balance, melody and silence Got To change my balance, melody and violence
