the logical song

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 theyd 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 worlds asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please,
please tell me what weve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say
or theyll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Wont you sign up your name,
wed like to feel youre acceptable
Respecable,
presentable , a vegtable!
(............... Music ..............)
At night, when all the worlds asleep ,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please,
please tell me what weve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
Who I am, who I am, who I am
(............... Music ............. .)
