THE LOGICAL SONG - SUPERTRAMP When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful a miracle oh was beautiful magical and all the birds in the trees they'd singing so happily oh joyfully oh playfully watching me But then they sent me away 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's the word I know it sounds absurd please tell me who I am I said what would you say 'bout me calling you a radical a liberal oh fanatical criminal won't you sign up your name we'd like to be your acceptable respectable oh presentable a vegetable Oh take take take it yeah But at night when all the world's asleep the questions run so deep for such a simple mind won't you please please tell me what's the word I know it sounds absurd please tell me who I am who I am who I am who I am.
