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 sent me away to teach me how to be sensible Logical, responsible, practical And then 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, please tell me who I am, 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, Respectable, presentable, vegetable 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, please tell me who I am Who I am, who I am, who I am
