The Logical Song

[Verse]

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful

A miracle, it was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the trees, well, they'd be singing so happily

Joyfully, oh, playfully watching me

And then they sent me away, show me how to be sensible

Logical, oh, responsible, practical

And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable

Clinical, intellectual, cynical

[Chorus]

But there are times when all the world's asleep

These 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 - please tell me who I am

[Verse]

Watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical

A liberal, fanatical, criminal

And won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable

Respectable, presentable, a vegetable

[Chorus]

But there are times 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 - please tell me who I am

[Chorus]

There are times when all the world's asleep

These 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 - please tell me who I am
