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
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end
A design for life
A design for life
A design for life
A design for life
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
A design for life
A design for life
A design for life
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
A design for life
A design for life
A design for...
Lyrics

@@grahampollock9835 Hate to sound like an old fart but they don't even rap properly or write proper lyrics. That mumble stuff PMSL and when they run out of rhymes they always fall back on rhyming na na na na with na na na na. And the kids go baa baa baa baa Only, why is it that all the kids have a Jamaican accent these days? But ask them who is their favourite toaster and they say Morphy Richards. Ask them if they have any roots and they run to the mirror examining their hair. Ask if they have ska, they show you a graze on their knee from falling off a skateboard. I asked for lovers rock, they thought it was what you buy at the seaside. I would not like to do their family trees because they think everyone is their relative. Ennit cuz? Blood? Bruv? Fam?

People in countries like the UK erroneously conflate "stupidity" with a lack of access to quality education. They are not the same thing. But you don't want working-class people getting a university education, because then who would clean your houses and work in dangerous factories or construction sites? We couldn't have that now, could we.

Imo, not their best, the holy bible and this is my truth do have more powerful lyrics, but is an absolute masterpiece. Maybe its because im a manics superfan that I think there are better songs.

I remember I was with my mum in Asda, age 10 or so. Mid 90s. Maybe a little older. I only had a pound to buy whatever I wanted from the music area. Yeah Asda used to have a straight up record store back in the day just in the store. Crazy. Top single CDs were 1.99. The limited edition ones with fancy cases were 2.99. But there was a basket of random tapes for 99p. I looked through them for a bit and found this one mysterious looking tape with a golden, unnamed, unmarked cardboard case. Intrigued, I bought it and returned home........ to hear this. Song's stuck with me ever since. Still listen to it today. One of the great rock ballads of the 90s. Of Britain in general.

I saw Manic Street Preachers around 4 or 5 times back in the day, when I wasn't even into them. My friend down the road was obsessed with them and had no one to go with; we were both into alternative rock, so I'd go with her just so she didn't miss out. Long story short, they grew on me, not just cos of this song, but Kevin Carter and If You Tolerate This....., There By the Grace of God (love that song so much). You don't really get much social commentary songs or political music these days, like MSP and Pulp could do so well.

This song defined The Manics. Although The Holy Bible defined the vision of Richey Edwards, this song and the album that it came from became the symbol of their spirit and ability to endure and prosper from tragedy. Still to this day, the Manic Street Preachers remain for many of us Welsh, the voice of social disparity in the Valleys.
