Supertramp - The Logical Song lyrics

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful

A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily

Joyfully, playfully watching me.

But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible

Logical, responsible, practical.

And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable

Clinical, 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

But please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical

Liberal, fanatical, criminal.

Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're

Acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!

At night, when all the world's asleep

The questions run so deep for such a simple man.

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned

I know it sounds absurd

but please tell me who I am.
