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?
'Coz 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 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 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)
