Bitter Sweet Symphony

by Jochen Distelmeyer

on Songs From The Bottom, Vol. 1 (2016)

'Cause it's a bittersweet 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 I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mould, and I am here in my mould
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change, I change, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

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

And I can change, I can change, I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mould, and 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, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

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

'Cause it's a bittersweet 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 place where we're all gonna meet, yeah

And I can change, 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, I change, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

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