Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bless my cotton socks, I'm in the news
The king sits on his face but it's all assumed
All wrapped up the same, all wrapped up the same
They can't have it, you can't have it, I can't have it too, until I
Learn to accept my reward
[Verse 2]
Prisoners stand in queues and stand in queues
Live in solitude like Howard Hughes
All wrapped up the same, all wrapped up the same
Silence has it, arrogance has it, I can't have it, ooh, until I
Learn to accept my reward
[Verse 3]
Suddenly it struck me very clear
Oh, suddenly it struck me very clean
All wrapped up the same, all wrapped up the same
They can't have it, you can't have it, I can't have it too, until I
Learn to accept my reward
[Verse 4]
Until I learn to accept my reward
Until I learn to accept my reward
Until I learn to accept my, I learn to expect my
I learn to accept my reward
