Children Of Eden movie - In Pursuit of Excellence lyrics

<br>

SNAKE (AND GIRLS)<br>

I've been watching you for a while now<br>

My pretty little misss<br>

And I've got to tell you thisss<br>

You make me want to hisss<br>

Your aimless curiosity is fast becoming tiresome<br>

Knowledge, dear, is power<br>

And it's high time you acquired some<br>

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb<br>

<br>

Lesson one for free<br>

Repeat it after me:<br>

I'm in pursuit in excellence<br>

Excellence is what I wish<br>

Once I was a feckless dreamer<br>

Now no being is supremer<br>

<br>

Why waste time wallowing in ignorance?<br>

Why be just a big fat fish in a tiny little pond?<br>

Look beyond! <br>

And if the quickest route<br>

Means a taste of forbidden fruit<br>

What the hey, it's all in pursuit of excellence!<br>

<br>

Time for some sophisticating<br>

It's no sin to be scintillating<br>

<br>

So don't be such a stiff<br>

Mmm, just take a sniff<br>

Really, what's the diff?<br>

If a couple fibs are spoken<br>

A couple vows are broken<br>

That's the price I guess <br>

No pain, no gain!<br>

<br>

You'll be swiftly overtaken<br>

By some ambitious snake unless<br>

You progress<br>

Learn to dress<br>

For success<br>

Yes!<br>

<br>

We're in pursuit of excellence<br>

Winners get to take the risks<br>

While the losers discuss<br>

That's why they're losers!<br>

<br>

Pass the test when you're tested<br>

Be the best, not the bested<br>

Let all the nervous wrecks<br>

Stay too frightened to stick out their necks<br>

They're not in pursuit of excellence like us<br>

Like us! Like us!<br>

<br>

<br>
