the logical song

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

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

who i am

who i am
