The Logical Song
Supertramp
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, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!
Dig, dig, dig it, yeah...
But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep for such a simple man
Won't you please (Won't you tell me),
(You can tell me what) please tell me what we've learned
(Can you hear me?)
I know it sounds absurd,(Won't you help me)
please tell me who I am,
who I am, who I am, who I am
But I'm thinking so logical
Did you call, one two three four
It's getting unbelievable
