A design for life._____________
That's about it for the guitar part.Lyrics down below.
Lyrics:
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
We are not allowed to spend
And we are told that this is the end
A design for life x4
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 x4
