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 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 or 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

Respectable oh presentable

A vegetable

At night 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

Written by Rick Davies, Roger Hodgson.
