I'm travellin' throu-ough this game called life

It's a tough game to play-ay, sometimes we play too rou-ou-ough

Now that I go-ot the final okay

You're tryin' so har-ard to take it all away

I've got imagination, come on give me a break

I've got my education, I've got determination

I've got imagination, come on give me a break



Well I started out my life, tried to find a better way

To live in this wor-orld from day-ay to day

I'm tryin' so har-ard and now I've learned how



I've got my education, I've got determination

I've got imagination, come on give me a break

I've got my education, I've got determination

I've got imagination, come on give me a break



Now I've got what I deserve, I have settled with my goa-oa-oal

Ain't nothin' I nee-eed, deep down in my s
