1st Verse:-
libraries gave us power
then work came and made us free
At what price now
For a shallow piece of dignity

2nd Verse:-
I wish I had a bottle
right here in my dirty face
to wear the scars
to show from where i came

3rd verse:-
I wish i had a bottle
Right here in my pretty face
to wear the scars
to show from where i came

Bridge :-
We don't talk about love
We only wanna get drunk
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end

Chrous:-
A__design    for life
A__design    for______life
A__de____sign  for life
A design for life
