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 sent 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 deepFor such a simple man.Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?I know it sounds absurdBut 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 acceptableRespectable, presentable, a vegetable!
At night, when all the world's asleep,The questions run so deepFor such a simple man.Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?I know it sounds absurdBut please tell me who I am.
