Logical Song - Supertramp

Strophe) 

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´s 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 showed me a world where I could be so dependable 

clinical, intellectual, cynical 

 

Refrain) 

There are times when all the world´s asleep 

the questions run too deep 

for such a simple man

 

Strophe) 

Won´t you please, please tell me what we´ve learned 

I know ot sound absurd 

but please tell me who I am 

 

Now watch what you say ot 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, respectable, presentable, a vegetable 

 

Refrain) 

There are times when all the world´s asleep 

the questions run too deep 

for such a simple man
