"I'm Gonna Be(Knowledge Whore)"

To the
tune of "I'm Gonna Be(500 Miles)" by The
Proclaimers

When I wake up, yeah I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna
be the man who wakes up on the floor.
When we
check out, yeah I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be
the last one out the motel door.
When we get
there, yeah I know I'm gonna be, 
I'm gonna be the
guy whose thumb is gonna be sore.
And if I wager,
yeah I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the one
who's gonna end up poor.

But I would drive 500
miles
And I would drive 500 more
Just to be the man who
drove 1000 miles
'Cause he's a knowledge
whore.

When I'm playing, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm
gonna be the guy who buzzes in real slow.
And when
the bonus comes in for tossup three
I'll miss the
5, but 10 and 15 parts I'll know.
When I'm
prompted, yeah I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the guy
whose guesses really blow.
And when I neg, yeah I
know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the guy who
Homer-like says "D'oh!" 

But I would drive 500
miles
And I would drive 500 more
Just to be the man who
drove 1000 miles
'Cause he's a knowledge
whore.

When I'm winning, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm
gonna be the guy who taunts the other team.
And when
I'm losing, yeah I know I'm going to be,
I'm going
to be the guy who's getting reamed.
If Freud's
the answer, yeah I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be
the guy who waits for "Interpretation of
Dreams."
When it's almost over, yeah I know I'm gonna
be,
I'm be the guy who's running out of steam.

But
I would drive 500 miles
And I would drive 500
more
Just to be the man who drove 1000 miles
'Cause he's
a knowledge whore.
