Anthem For Bored Youth |
| «Knowledge is a curse |
| But ignorance is worse» |
| I heard it said |
| Quote yourself if no one else will |
| I am not prepared |
| To stick my head above that parapet |
| No more |
| I’d rather be ignored |
| I could sing a biting satire or a farcical spoof |
| But what would be the use? |
| I could write a thousand verses of beautiful truths |
| But what would be the use? |
| It’s just another anthem for bored youth |
| Have I writer’s block? |
| Or have I just forgotten who I am? |
| Am I who I was when I began? |
| Here’s a little game |
| How many times do I say «I» |
| In this song? |
| It’s unlucky for some |
| I could sing a biting satire or a farcical spoof |
| But what would be the use? |
| I could write a thousand verses of beautiful truths |
| But what would be the use? |
| It’s just another anthem for bored youth |
