Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve) Songtext
von Ren

′Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, that′s life
Tryna 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 mould, I am here in my mould
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can′t change my mould, 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 mould, I am here in my mould
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no

(Have you ever been down?) I can′t change it, you know
I can′t change it


'Cause it′s a bitter sweet symphony, that's life
Tryna make ends meet, tryna 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 mould, I am here in my mould
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no

I can′t change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
I can′t change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
(It's just sex and violence, melody and silence)
I can′t change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
(It's just sex and violence, melody and silence)
I can′t change my mould, no, no, no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I′ve ever been down
(It's just sex and violence, melody and silence)
(It's just I can′t change my violence, melody, and violence...)
I can′t change my mould, no, no, no, no, no...
I'll take you down the only road I′ve ever been down, been down

Ever been down, ever been down
Ever been down, you ever been down?
Have you ever been down? Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
