The Logical Song (Live) by Roger Hodgson
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 (1)________ (2)________ sent me away
To (3)__________ me how to be sensible
Logical
(Oh) responsible, practical
And (4)________ they showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
(Oh) clinical
(Oh) intellectual, cynical
There are (5)__________ when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a (6)____________ 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
Or 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) (7)________ it, take it, (8)________ it (yeah)
But at night when all the world's asleep
The (9)__________________ run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please
Please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am
Who I am (come one)
Who I am
Who I am (yeah)
...
'Cause I'm feeling so logical
...
(Oh) it's getting unbelievable
