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

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
