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 worlds 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. |
|
Wont you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're |
|
Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable! |
|
At night, when all the worlds 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. |
