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

And I hope you're thinking of me 
As you lay down on your side 
Now the drugs don't work 
They just make you worse 
But I know I'll see your face again 

Now the drugs don't work 
They just make you worse 
But I know I'll see your face again 

But I know I'm on a losing streak 
'Cause I passed down my old street 
And if you wanna show, then just let me know 
And I'll sing in your ear again 

Now the drugs don't work 
They just make you worse 
But I know I'll see your face again 

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too 
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead 

All this talk of getting old 
It's getting me down my love 
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown 
This time I'm comin' down 

Now the drugs don't work 
They just make you worse 
But I know I'll see your face again 

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too 
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead 

But if you wanna show, just let me know 
And I'll sing in your ear again 

Now the drugs don't work 
They just make you worse 
But I know I'll see your face again 

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again 
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again 
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again 
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again 

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down 
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more 
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down 
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more 
(Repeat and Fade Out) 

But how many corners do I have to turn? 
How many times do I have to learn 
All the love I have is in my mind? 

Well, I'm a lucky man 
With fire in my hands 

Happiness 
Something in my own place 
I'm standing naked 
Smiling, I feel no disgrace 
With who I am 

Happiness 
Coming and going 
I watch you look at me 
Watch my fever growing 
I know just who I am 

But how many corners do I have to turn? 
How many times do I have to learn 
All the love I have is in my mind? 

I hope you understand 
I hope you understand 

Gotta love that'll never die 

Happiness 
More or less 
It's just a change in me 
Something in my liberty 
Happiness 
Coming and going 
I watch you look at me 
Watch my fever growing 
I know 
Oh, my, my 
Oh, my, my 
Oh, my, my 
Oh, my, my 

Gotta love that'll never die 
Gotta love that'll never die 
No, no 
I'm a lucky man 

It's just a change in me 
Something in my liberty 
It's just a change in me 
Something in my liberty 
It's just a change in me 
Something in my liberty 
Oh, my, my 
Oh, my, my 
It's just a change in me 
Something in my liberty 
Oh, my, my 
Oh, my, my
