The Divine Comedy - Anthem For Bored Youth lyrics

"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
