Because it's a bittersweet symphony, this life Run amok and meet your slave till the morning, then you die I'll take you down the only road I have ever been down You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet in the air And no change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change I am here in my mode, here in my mode I am a million different people from one day to the next I can change my mode, no, no, no, no, no Well, I never pray, but tonight I am on my knees, yeah I need to hear some sounds that recognize this 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 And no change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change I am here in my mode, here in my mode I am a million different people from one day to the next I can change my mode, no, no, no, no, no Have you ever been down? Have you ever been down? Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life Tryna make ends meet, you're a slave to the money, then you die And no, I cannot change, I can't change it, I am here in my I'll take you down the only road I have ever been down And I change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change I am here in my mode, here in my mode I am a million different people from one day to the next I can change my mode, no, no, no, no, no
