Bittersweet Symphony
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try 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 my pain lives, yeah,
And no change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
'Cause 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
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
Yeah
Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah, oh
'Cause I need to hear some sounds that
Recognize the pain in me, yeah
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all my pain lives, yeah,
And the airwaves are clean,
but there's nobody listening
To me now, yeah, yeah, yeah!
But I say
No change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
'Cause 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
Yeah!
Have you ever been down?
I said, you've down?
Have you ever been down? Yeah, yeah
Have you ever been down
Yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, yeah, yeah
And it's a bittersweet symphony
Yeah, yeah
My mind
Your life, life
