The Logical Song

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 theyd 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 worlds asleep The questions run too deep For such a simple man Wont you please, please tell me what weve learned I know it sounds absurd Please tell me who I am I say now watch what you say Or theyll be calling you a radical A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal Oh wont you sign up your name Wed like to feel youre acceptable Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable Whoa (tick, tick, tick, yeah) But at night when all the worlds asleep The questions run so deep For such a simple man Wont you please, please tell me what weve learned I know it sounds absurd But please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
