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
