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?

'Cos when I have no energy, 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

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

A jet to Mecca, Tibet or Jeddah

To Salisbury, a monastery

The longest journey, across the desert

Across the weather, across the elements

Across the water)
