lyrics
Dilettante woah-oh
Dilettante, dilettante
I’ve got a knack for many things
But they suspect that I don’t really care
Dilettante woah-oh
Dilettante, dilettante
I’m told it’s an affliction
But I think it’s getting me somewhere
Dilettante, woah-oh
Dilettante, dilettante
I’ve got a knack for many things
But how much do I really care?
It’s an affliction, but I
It’s an affliction, but I
It’s an affliction, but I
Think it’s getting me somewhere!
Started when I was quite young
Seemed I did things for the fun
Never practicing my scales
Always feeling like I’d failed
I found it hard to dig deep
Got distracted easily
“Don’t be a dilettante,” teacher said
And it became that thing I dreaded
Well I took some Spanish
Then I took some French
I can’t speak either, but I’ve got a great accent
I’ll tickle the ivories, sing in a high key
But don’t expect me to write a symphony!
Dilettante, woah-oh
Dilettante, dilettante
I’ve got a knack for many things
But how much do I really care?
It’s an affliction, but I
It’s an affliction, but I
It’s an affliction, but I
Think it’s getting me somewhere!
But we’re all dilettantes, don’t you see?
It’s a dilettante society!
With our pretty liberal arts degrees
Yeah that sprinkling of humanities
See I can’t make up my precious mind
And I’m too distracted to unwind
Yeah I don’t know how to use my time
I don’t wanna be a---
Dilettante, woah-oh
Dilettante, dilettante
I’ve got a knack for many things
But how much do I really care?
It’s an affliction, but I
It’s an affliction, but I
It’s an affliction, but I
Think it’s getting me somewhere!
