Logical Song

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 theyd 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 worlds asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Wont you please, please tell me what weve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am
Now watch what you say or theyll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal
Wont you sign up your name, wed like to feel youre
Acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!
At night, when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Wont you please, please tell me what weve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am
