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 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
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) 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
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
...
