about

The Verve's single mashed up with Sufjan Stevens' Chicago

lyrics

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 change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold.
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Well I never pray,
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't change, I can't change, I can't change,
But I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold.
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I fell in love again
All things go all things go
Drove to Chicago
All things go all things go
We sold our clothes to the state
I don't mind I don't mind
I was in love with the place
In my mind in my mind

You came to take us
All things go all things go
To recreate us
All things grow all things grow
We had our minds set
All things know all things know
We had to find it
All things grow all things grow

Cuz it's a bittersweet symphony this life
