The Logical Song

Lyrics

[Verse] 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, oh, playfully watching me And then they sent me away, show me how to be sensible Logical, oh, responsible, practical And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable Clinical, intellectual, cynical [Chorus] But there are times when all the world's asleep These 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 [Verse] Watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical A liberal, fanatical, criminal And won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable Respectable, presentable, a vegetable [Chorus] But there are times 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 [Chorus] There are times when all the world's asleep These 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
