Richard Ashcroft - Bitter Sweet Symphony lyrics

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, my life
Try to make ends meet
Your a slave to money then you die
I'm gonna 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

You know I can't 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
Oh, no, oh, no, no

Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, now
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

You know I can't 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
And I'm a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mold
Oh, no, oh, no, no

Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, my life
Try to make ends meet
Your a slave to money then you die
I'm gonna 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

You know I can't 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
And I'm a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mold
Oh, no, oh, no, no

Have you ever been down, yeah
Have you ever been down, yeah

I got your sex, violence, melody and silence
I got your sex, violence, melody and silence
I got your sex, violence, melody and silence
I got your sex, violence, melody and silence

Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony

Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down
