THE LOGICAL SONG              SUPERTRAMP



WHEN I WAS YOUNG, IT SEEMED THAT LIFE WAS SO WONDERFUL

A MIRACLE, OH IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, MAGICAL,

AND ALL THE BIRD IN THE TREES, WHELL THEY'D BE SINGING SO HAPPILY

JOYFULLY, PLAYFULLY WHATCHING ME

BUT THEN THEY SENT ME AWAY TO TEACH ME HOW TO BE SENSIBLE,

LOGICAL, RESPONSABLE, PRACTICAL

AND THEY SHOUWED 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 WATHC 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, A 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

BUT PLEASE TELL ME WHO I AM
