Текст песни Bitter Sweet Symphony (extended version) - The Verve

'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to the 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

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 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 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
You've gotta change
It's just sex and violence, melody and silence
Gotta, sex and violence, melody and silence

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down, ever been down
Ever been down, ever been down

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