Sat In Your Lap

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
Theres 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 Im king
I just begin
Just when I think Im king, I must admit
I just begin
Just when I think Im king, ooh
I just begin
Ive been doing it for years
My goal is moving near
Says, 'Look! Im over here'
Then it up and disappears
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap
Some say that knowledge is oh-ho-ho-ho
I want to be a lawyer
I want to be a scholar
But I really cant be bothered
Ooh, just give it quick, gimme it, gimme gimme gimme gimme!
Some say that knowledge is oh-ho-ho
Some say that knowledge is oh-ho-ho
Some say that heaven is hell
Some say that hell is heaven
I must admit, just when I think Im king
I just begin
Just when I think Im king, I must admit
I just begin
Just when I think everythings going great
I just begin
I get the break, hey, Im gonna take it all
I just begin
When Im king
Just begin
In my dome of ivory
A home of activity
Iwant the answers quickly
But I dont have no energy
I hold a cup of wisdom
But there is nothing within
My cup, she never overfloweth
It is I that moan and groaneth
Some grey and white matter
Give me the karma, mama!
Im coming up the ladder
Hey, Im coming up the ladder
A jet to Mecca
Up the ladder!
Tibet or Jeddah
To Salisbury, a monastery
The longest journey
Across the desert
Across the weather
Across the elements
Across the water!
