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 they'd be singing so
Happily
Oh, joyfully
Oh, playfully
Watching me

But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical
Oh, responsible, practical
And they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh, clinical
Oh, 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
Please tell me who I am

I said now watch what you say
Or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal
Oh, won't you sign up your name
We'd like to feel you're acceptable
Repectable, oh, presentable
A vegetable
Oh yeah

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
Please tell me who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
