Supertramp - The Logical Song
When I was young, it seemed that llfe was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully, watching me.
But then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, oh, responsible practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep for such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd. Please tell me who I am.
Watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.
Oh, won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable,
respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable!
There are times, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep for such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd. Please tell me who I am.
