Lyrics
0:06Libraries gave us power
0:08Then work came and made us free
0:17What price now for a shallow piece of dignity
0:33I wish I had a bottle
0:38Right here in my dirty face to wear the scars
0:49To show from where I came
1:01We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk
1:12And we are not allowed to spend
1:16As we are told that this is the end
1:22A design for life
1:27A design for life
1:32A design for life
1:38A design for life
1:46I wish I had a bottle
1:52Right here in my pretty face to wear the scars
2:03To show from where I came
2:15We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk
2:26And we are not allowed to spend
2:30As we are told that this is the end
2:35A design for life
2:41A design for life
2:46A design for life
2:52A design for life
3:23We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk
3:33And we are not allowed to spend
3:38As we are told that this is the end
3:43A design for life
3:49A design for life
3:54A design for life
4:00A design for
Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity I wish I had a bottle Right here in my dirty face to wear the scars To show from where I came We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk And we are not allowed to spend As we are told that this is the end A design for life A design for life A design for life A design for life I wish I had a bottle Right here in my pretty face to wear the scars To show from where I came We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk And we are not allowed to spend As we are told that this is the end A design for life A design for life A design for life A design for life We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk And we are not allowed to spend As we are told that this is the end A design for life A design for life A design for life A design for
