Supertramp- The Logical Song

[sanura]

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, where they'd be singing so happily
Oh, joyfully
Oh, playfully, watching me...

And then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible
Logical
Oh, responsible, practical
And then 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 mind
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 radical
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!

But at night, when all the world's asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple mind
Won't you please (Oh, won't you tell me)
Please tell me what we've learned (Oh, can you hear me)
I know it sounds absurd (Oh, won't you help me)
Please tell me who I am...
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am...
