`Cause it`s a bitter sweet 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

[Chorus]
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
(Have you ever been down?)

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
Have you ever been down?
I can`t change it you know, I can`t change it



[Verse 3]
`Cause it`s a bitter sweet symphony, that`s 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

[Chorus]
You know I can 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
I can`t change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
I can`t change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
You`ve gotta change my mould, no, no, no
(It`s just sex and violence, melody and silence)
(It`s just sex and violence, melody and violence)
(It`s just sex and silence, melody and silence)
(I`ll take you down the only road I`ve ever been down)
(It`s just sex and violence, melody and silence)
(I`ll take you down the only road I`ve ever been down)
(It`s just sex and violence, melody and violence)
Been down
Ever been down
(I can`t change my mould, no, no, no, no, no)
(It`s just sex and violence, melody and violence)
Ever been down
(I can`t change my mould, no, no, no, no, no)
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
