Manic Street Preachers
Manic Street Preachers', "A Design For Life"
Better Lyrics:
Seeboard gave us power.
The Sun gave us GOALS! for free.
What price now, for a copy of Jacko's HIStory.
I wish I had a beatle, so I'd sell lots of autographs
Simply Red did Stars, and now, sit, flat on their arse
We dont talk about Love, we only wanna get drunk.
And we are not loud to stand,
'cause we are told terraces must end.
A design, for life
The Sun gave us GOALS! for free.
What price now, for a copy of Jacko's HIStory.
I wish I had a beatle, so I'd sell lots of autographs
Simply Red did Stars, and now, sit, flat on their arse
We dont talk about Love, we only wanna get drunk.
And we are not loud to stand,
'cause we are told terraces must end.
A design, for life
Original Lyrics:
Libraries gave us power,
Then work came and made us free.
What price now, for a shallow piece of history.
We dont talk about love,
we only wanna get drunk.
But we are not allowed to spend.
'cause we are told that this is the end
A design for life
Then work came and made us free.
What price now, for a shallow piece of history.
We dont talk about love,
we only wanna get drunk.
But we are not allowed to spend.
'cause we are told that this is the end
A design for life
