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

Oh joyfully, playfully watching me.

But then they sent 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 where the worlds all 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

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!

But 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’

Please tell me who I am
