Sat in Your Lap Lyrics

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 (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)
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 gray 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
