Supertramp - The Logical Song lyrics
[Supertramp - The Logical Song lyrics]
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 said, 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
Oh, take, take, 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 (Won't you tell me)
Please tell me what we've learned?
(Can you hear me?) I know it sounds absurd
(Won't you help me?) But please
Tell me who I am who I am
Who I am who I am
Yeah oh
Ooh hey
'Cause I was feeling so illogical
D-d-d-d-d-d-digital
Yeah, one, two, three, five oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, it's getting unbelievable yeah
B-b-bloody marvelous
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 said, 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
Oh, take, take, 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 (Won't you tell me)
Please tell me what we've learned?
(Can you hear me?) I know it sounds absurd
(Won't you help me?) But please
Tell me who I am who I am
Who I am who I am
Yeah oh
Ooh hey
'Cause I was feeling so illogical
D-d-d-d-d-d-digital

Ooh, it's getting unbelievable yeah
B-b-bloody marvelous
