Well it's a bittersweet symphony this 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'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
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
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
