(Riff 1 x2)  Libraries gave us power,
(Riff 1 x2)  Then work came and made us free,
(Riff 3 x2)  What price now?
(Riff 4)     For a shallow piece, of dignity,

[VERSE 2]
(Riff 1 x2)  I wish I had a bottle,
(Riff 2 x2)  Right here in my dirty face,
(Riff 3 x2)  To wear the scars,
(Riff 4)     To show from where I came,

[PRE-CHORUS]
[Riff 5]

(Riff 5)     We don't talk about love,
(Riff 5)     We only want to get drunk,
(Riff 6)     And We are not allowed to spend,
(Riff 7)     As we are told that this is the end,

[CHORUS] 
Repeat four times.
