Everybody Needs To Read More Books
It's all very well Knowing how to write And understanding the need To record But like falling trees We somehow miss the point - Illiteracy we can ill afford And thus We fail like every other Shallow flawed human endeavour Oh Sarajevo kids Go you to Berlin And ask about charisma And ideals Don't forget your notepads To be used as mirrors Your ears and eyes the tools of empathy So regress to students To learn the lessons To stave off another hundred Years of This farcical And would laugh if it weren't for the terror And the killing
We've travelled some way We've learned to admit That this ice sculpture Might once have been a stream But I retain my apprehension As the picket lines in Belfast Throw pipebombs At their children in the family way We can't let our libraries slip out Of our precocious grip So regress to students To learn the lessons To stave off another hundred Years of Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com This farcical And would laugh if it weren't for the terror And the killing And the idiocy Of repetition And the conceit Of ignorance And the idiocy Of repetition And the conceit Of ignorance
So come on kids, let's form another unity movement That's just what the world needs And I'm bored to the point of laughter Something tired and old At once we must be teachers and students Recapture that infant state of mind And concern ourselves with issues of absorbtion Not manifesto This is not just for me
Or some jaded punk scene
Universal need
To educate ourselves About ourselves Everybody needs to read more books! So progress as students To learn the lessons To stave off another hundred Years of This farcical And would laugh if it weren't for the studious Look on your face
