Chorus 1-

It's a bittersweet 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 2-

No change, I can't change

I can change, I can change

But I'm here in my mould

But I'm here in my mould

But I'm a million different people

from one day to the next

I can't change my mold

No, no, no, no, no

Have you ever been down

Have you ever been down

Verse 1-

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'll 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 2-

Chorus 1-

We've got your sex and violence, melody and silence

We've got your sex and silence, melody and sirens

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