The Logical Song
When I was youngIt 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 happilyOh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensibleLogical, oh responsible, practical
And 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 manWon't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am
Now watch what you say
Or they'll be calling you a radicalA liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh won't you sign up your nameWe'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetableAt night when all the world's asleep
The questions run soo deep
For such a simple manWon't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
