Lyrics to The Logical Song by 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 sent me away to teach me how to be sensible,
- Logical, responsible, practical.
- And they then 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!
- [Instrumental Interlude]
- 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, who I am, who I am, who I am.
