Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Libraries gave us power
Then work came and made us free
What price now
For a shallow piece of dignity?
[Verse 2]
I wish I had a bottle
Right here in my dirty face
To wear the scars
To show from where I came
[Verse 3]
We don't talk about love
We only wanna get drunk
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end
[Verse 4]
A design for life
A design for life
A design for life
A design for life
[Verse 5]
I wish I had a bottle
Right here in my pretty face
To wear the scars
To show from where I came
[Verse 6]
We don't talk about love
We only wanna get drunk
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end
[Verse 7]
A design for life
A design for life
A design for life
A design for life
[Verse 8]
We don't talk about love
We only wanna get drunk
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end
[Verse 9]
A design for life
A design for life
A design for life
A design for
