Song lyrics 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, oooh playfully, watching me.

But then they send 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 "Now watch what you say
or they'll be calling you a radical,
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name,
we'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!
Oh!, tik, tik, tik, Yeah!"

At night, when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run so 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.
Who I am?
Who I am?
Who I am?
