Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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 [Refrain] Some say that knowledge is something sat up in your lap Some say that knowledge is something that you never have [Verse 2] I see the people happy So can it happen for me? 'Cause when I am unhappy There's nothing that can move me [Refrain] 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 [Chorus] 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) [Verse 3] I've been doing it for years My goal is moving near Says "Look, I'm over here" Then it up and disappears [Refrain] Some say that knowledge is something sat up in your lap Some say that knowledge is oh-ho-ho-ho [Verse 4] 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 [Refrain] 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 [Chorus] 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) [Verse 5] 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 [Outro] 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)
