The 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 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.
|
|
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
|
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
|
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
|
acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!
|
|
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
|
I know it sounds absurd
|
but please tell me who I am.
