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 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
