Lib'ries 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 drnk,
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.
repeat chorus 1
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...(drums til end)
