Supertramp: The logical song
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, it was beautiful, magical
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the
trees, well they’d be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully, watching me
But then they send me away to
teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical
And they showed me a world
where I could be so dependable, 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 but
please, tell me who I am
I said now, watch what you
say, now we’re calling yu a radical, a liberal, fanatical, criminal
Won’t you sign up your name,
we’d like to feel you’re acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable
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
(Won’t you tell me, you can
tell me what; can you hear me?)
I know it sounds absurd,
please tell me who I am
who I am (x 3)
But I’m thinking so logical
Did you call, one two three
four
It’s getting unbelievable
