You're sitting straight up in your chair,
You're staring at the black board.
You're sitting straight up in your chair,
The books are stackin' upward.
You listen, did you think you'd learn?
Questions fill each page you turn.
You raise your hand, the others stare,
But no one calls you, no one's there¦

'cause Simon said, cause Simon said, he said,
'cause Simon said I made your bed,
We'll lay there till the day we're dead
'cause Simon said, cause Simon said, he said,

Sit with me & hear my doubt,
'bout secrets & The Keeper.
I'm a wiz because I quiz,
And never get much deeper.
Not like those who come to see,
Come to share the view with me.
You & I have them defined,
As narrow minds, behind & blind.

You're standing nicely in the queue,
The company is plenty
You wanna push you're way right through,
But the serving bowl is empty.
Every one will wait in line
Waiting, asking, that is fine
But no one dares to serve the swine
And truth is only in your mind,

'cause Simon said, cause Simon said, he said,
'cause Simon said to scratch your head,
Forever eating, never fed.
'cause Simon said, cause Simon said, he said,
