A Design For Life (studio outtake)

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
But we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end
A design
A design
A design for life

I wish I had a bottle
Right here in my pretty face to wear those 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
A design
A design for life
