Supertramp /The Logical Song

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 send 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, 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, watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
Liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable
Oh, 
take it take it yeah

​But 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
Please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am​

'Cause I was feeling so logical
D-d-digital
One, two, three, five
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It's getting unbelievable
