'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

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

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 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?

No change, I can change

I can change, I can change

But I'm here in my mould

I am here in my mould

No change, I can change

I can change, I can change

But I'm here in my mould

I am here in my mould

No change, I can change

I can change, I can change

But I'm here in my mould

I am here in my mould
