The Logical Song (version of Supertramp's song from //Breakfast in America //,1979) media type="custom" key="9553056" width="70" height="70" align="left"

//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,// //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.//

//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// //but please tell me who I am.//

//Now watch what you say or 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!//

//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.//
