[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

[Chorus]

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 accused

Live in solitude like Howard Hughes

All wrapped up the same

All wrapped up the same

[Chorus 2]

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

Suddenly it struck me very clean

All wrapped up the same

All wrapped up the same

[Chorus]

They can't have it

You can't have it

I can't have it, too

Until I learn to accept my reward

[Trumpet Break]

[Outro]

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
