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 |
| 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, ooh |
| 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 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 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 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 overfloweth |
| It is I that moan and groaneth |
| Some grey and white 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! |
