Pride, I've got plenty of it Love, I really don't know what it means But I'm certainly contented, never been ill fed Oh no! got a comfy bed it's gone to my head. So I'm gettin' out o' this state of paralysis I've really come to realise at last That I'm living in a state of paralysis My manifestation is gonna last. Realisation, realisation. There's too many others think we know it all And not enough of us think ahead And what we don't know ain't worth knowin' at all There's too many of us really dead. So I'm gettin' out of this state of paralysis I've really come to realise at last That I'm livin' in a state of paralysis My manifestation is gonna last. Realisation, realisation. Sympathy, I can give it Consideration with it Love, well I certainly found it And I'm buildin' round it. I'm gettin' out o' this state of paralysis I've really come to realise at last That I'm living in a state of paralysis My manifestation is gonna last. Well I'm gettin' out o' this state of paralysis I've really come to realise at last That I'm living in a state of paralysis My manifestation is gonna last.
