The Logical Song Songtext / Lyric

When I was young,it seemed that live was o wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beatiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees,
well they`d be singing so happily,
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.A clinical,oh intellecual,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,what would you say?Now 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,oh presentable,a vegetable!
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.
