["Hajimemashite" Chorus]
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"
[Instrumental]
["Bitter Sweet Symphony" Verse 1]
'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
["Bitter Sweet Symphony" Chorus]
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
["Hajimemashite" Chorus]
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"
[Instrumental Outro]
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"
