Logical Song Songtext
von Supertramp

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
Now 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!
Take it, take it, take it, yeah!

But at night when all the world′s asleep
The questions run so deep for such a simple man

Won't you please (oh, won′t you tell me?)
Please tell me what we've learned?
(Oh, can you help me?) I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am, yeah!


′Cause I'm feeling so logical
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-digital
Yeah, one, two, three, five

Ooh, it's getting unbelievable
