0:11I see the people working
0:14And see it working for them
0:16And so I want to join in
0:19But then I find it hurts me
0:21Some say that
0:22Knowledge is something sat in your lap
0:24Some say that
0:26Knowledge is something that you never have
0:30I see the people happy
0:32So can it happen for me
0:34'Cause when I am unhappy
0:37There's nothing that can move me
0:38Some say that
0:40Knowledge is something that you never have
0:43Some say that
0:44Knowledge is something sat in your lap
0:47Some say that heaven is hell
0:50Some say that hell is heaven
0:54I must admit
0:56Just when I think I'm king
0:59I just begin
1:01Just when I think I'm king
1:04I must admit
1:05I just begin
1:07Just when I think I'm king
1:11I just begin
1:14I've been doing it for years
1:16My goal is moving near
1:19It says look I'm over here
1:21Then it up and disappears
1:23Some say that
1:25Knowledge is something sat in your lap
1:27Some say that
1:29Knowledge is ho ho ho ho
1:32I want to be a lawyer
1:35I want to be a scholar
1:37But I really can't be bothered
1:39Ooh just gimme it quick gimme it
1:40Gimme gimme gimme gimme
1:41Some say that
1:43Knowledge is ho ho ho
1:46Some say that
1:47Knowledge is ho ho ho
1:50Some say that heaven is hell
1:53Some say that hell is heaven
1:57I must admit
1:59Just when I think I'm king
2:02I just begin
2:03Just when I think I'm king
2:06I must admit
2:08I just begin
2:10Just when I think
2:12Everything's going great
2:14I just begin
2:17I get the break
2:18Hey I'm gonna take it all
2:21I just begin
2:23When I'm king
2:27Just begin
2:30In my dome of ivory
2:32A home of activity
2:35I want the answers quickly
2:37But I don't have no energy
2:40I hold a cup of wisdom
2:42But there is nothing within
2:45My cup she never overfloweth
2:47And 'tis I that moan and groaneth
2:52Some grey and white matter
2:54Give me
2:55The karma mama
2:57I'm coming up the ladder
3:02Hey I'm coming up the ladder
3:05A jet to mecca
3:08Up the ladder
3:10xizang or jeddah
3:13To salisbury
3:15A monastery
3:17The longest journey
3:20Across the desert
3:22Across the weather
3:25Across the elements
3:27Across the water
