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! |
|

|
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 |
|
