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 hurt me
 Some say that knowledge is something sat up 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 up 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
 Says, "Look, I'm over here"
 Then it up and disappears
 Some say that knowledge is something sat up 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 can't be bothered
 Ooh, just gimme 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 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)
 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 really floweth
 'Tis I that moan and groaneth
 Some grey and whiter matter
 (Give me the karma, mama)
 I'm coming up the ladder
 Hey, I'm 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
