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 |
