'cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life 
Trying 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 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 
But i'm a million different people from one day to the next 
I can't change my mold 
No no no no no 
'cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life 
Trying to make ends meet 
Trying to find some money then you die 
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
