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 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 (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 ho-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)

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!"

I'm coming up the ladder

Hey, I'm coming up the ladder

(A trip 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)
