The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony lyrics

rate me

'Cause it's a bitter sweet 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 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, no, no

(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 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

And I'm a million different people from one day to the next

I can't change my mold, no no, no, no, no, no, no

(Have you ever been down?)

I can change, I can change

'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, this life

Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some 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

You know I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change

But I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold

And I'm a million different people from one day to the next

I can change my mold, no no, no, no, no

I can change my mold, no no, no, no, no

I can change my mold, no no, no, no

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

We've got ya sex and violence, melody and violence

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

We've got ya sex and silence, melody and silence

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

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

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

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

(Been down, ever been down)

We've got ya sex and violence, oh, oh, la, la la, la, la

(Ever been down, ever been down, y'ever been down?)

(Have you ever been down? Have you ever been down?)
