When you need the motivation
And when you're sick of all the lies
It takes a bit of concentration
For you to open up their eyes
He was a gillionaire
But he'd been double-crossed
Do you think he learned a lesson
Or was he worried what it cost?

A quest for knowledge, quest to see
All these things inside of me
Looking in, there's something wrong
I must set out on my own

Now the teacher isn't here
And we must learn to walk alone
You gotta trust your instincts
And the wisdom passed along
And now you hit the road
The answer you will see
A man without a country
Has a sense of what is free

A quest for knowledge, quest to see
All these things inside of me
Looking in, there's something wrong
I must set out on my own
Salt of the earth, salt of the sea, that's how I feel
Hard workers deserve a life, yet they are forced to steal
Salt of the earth, salt of the sea, that's who I am
Surround yourself with people who are worth a damn

I've seen so many things, I want to project them with my brains
This world is full of danger caused by humans filled with pain
I want to give you something you have never seen
My offer's always there, if you know what I mean
It's despicable

A quest for knowledge, quest to see
All these things inside of me
Looking in, there's something wrong
I must set out on my own

A quest for knowledge, quest to see
All these things inside of me
Looking in, there's something wrong
I must set out on my own
