I see the people working,
|
And see it working for them.
|
And so I want to join in,
|
But then I find it hurts me.
|
|
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.
|
Some say that knowledge is something that you never have.
|
|
I see the people happy,
|
So can it happen for me?
|
'Cause when I am unhappy,
|
There's nothing that can move me.
|
|
Some say that knowledge is something that you never have.
|
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.
|
Some say that heaven is hell.
|
Some say that hell is heaven.
|
|
I must admit, just when I think I'm king,
|
(I just begin.)
|
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit,
|
(I just begin.)
|
Just when I think I'm king,
|
(I just begin.)
|
|
I've been doing it for years.
|
My goal is moving near.
|
It says, "Look! I'm over here."
|
Then it up and disappears.
|
|
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap.
|
Some say that knowledge is ho-ho-ho-ho.
|
|
I want to be a lawyer.
|
I want to be a scholar.
|
But I really can't be bothered.
|
Ooh, just gimme it quick, gimme it, gimme gimme gimme gimme!
|
|
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho.
|
Some say that knowledge is ho ho ho.
|
Some say that heaven is hell.
|
Some say that hell is heaven.
|
|
I must admit, just when I think I'm king,
|
(I just begin.)
|
Just when I think I'm king, I must admit,
|
(I just begin.)
|
Just when I think everything's going great,
|
(I just begin,)
|
Hey, I get the break,
|
Hey, I'm gonna take it all--
|
(I just begin.)
|
When I'm king--
|
(-- just begin.)
|
|
In my dome of ivory,
|
A home of activity,
|
I want the answers quickly,
|
But I don't have no energy.
|
|
I hold a cup of wisdom,
|
But there is nothing within.
|
My cup, she never overfloweth,
|
And 'tis I that moan- and groaneth.
|
|
Some grey and white matter,
|
"Give me the karma, mama!"
|
I'm coming up the ladder,
|
"A jet to Mecca,"
|
I'm coming up the ladder,
|
"Tibet or Jeddah,
|
Up the ladder...
|
"To Salisbury,
|
A monastery,
|
The longest journey,
|
Across the desert,
|
Across the weather,
|
Across the elements,
|
Across the water!"
