Lyrics(only to verse as chorus and bridge are above)

1 Verse:-

libraries gave us power

then work came and made us free

At what price now

For a shallow piece of dignity

2Verse:-

I wish I had a bottle

right here in my dirty face

to wear the scars

to show from where i came

3 verse:-

I wish i had a bottle

Right here in my pretty face

to wear the scars

to show from where i came

Listening to the record will help to tell you where to sing in the verse.

Also there is this high pitched pinging every verse this can be done on the

guitar

at the 15th fret on the High e string. Whenever James does this live instead

of picking

after the dignity/came bit(at the end of every verse) he strums Cmaj7

heavily. The chords

above the tab are what rhythm guitar would play/the overall sound of each

one.
