'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, that's lifeTryna make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you dieI'll take you down the only road I've ever been downYou know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
Well, I've never prayed but tonight I'm on my knees, yeahI need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeahI let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free nowBut the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singin' to me now
You know I can change, I can changeI can change, I can changeBut I'm here in my moldI am here in my moldAnd I'm a million different peopleFrom one day to the nextI can't change my moldNo, no, no, no, no
It's just sex and violence, melody and silenceI'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been downEver been downHave you ever been down?
