Bittersweet Haj - Umphrey's McGee

I didn’t know things were supposed to be this way

I wasn’t told of this before

But had I known about this fall for some time

Maybe I, I could have been, yeah I should have known

I once was dropped among this crowd

I didn’t know things were supposed to be this way

No one ever told me this before

«It's all right» was all I heard

«This will blow away, away, from you and from me»

'Cause it’s a bitter sweet symphony, this life

Try to 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 mold

Yeah 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

I didn’t know things were supposed to be this way

No one ever told me this before

«And it’s all right» was all I heard

«This will blow away»
