Supertramp: The Logical Song
Hey, did you one better today: got some lyrics (and a retro MTV intro).
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; oh joyfully, oh playfully, watching me…
But then they sent me away to 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 man.
Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned. I know it sounds absurd. Please tell me who I am…(I say) now watch what you say or they’ll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.
Oh won’t you sign up your name, we’d like to feel you’re acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable…
Whoa (tick, tick, ticka, yeah)But 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 — who I am — who I am — who I am
