'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, this life

Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die

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

You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins 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

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

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
