The Logical Song by 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,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they (1)____________ me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
the (2)__________________ run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, (3)____________ tell me what we've learned
I (4)________ it sounds absurd
but please (5)________ 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
acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for (6)________ a simple man.
Won't you please, (7)____________ (8)________ me what we've learned
I know it (9)____________ absurd
but please tell me who I am.
