A Design for Life 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...

    This in my opinion is probably one of the most difficult songs to interpret.

    I can't really get the big meaning but I think this from wiki might explain it.

    " The creation continues incessantly through the media of man. But man does not create... he discovers. Those who look to the laws of nature for support for their new works collaborate with the creator. Copiers do not collaborate. Because of this, originality consists in returning to the origin."
    —Antonio Gaudi

    there are many clues about this songs.
