Supertramp - The Logical Song

This song just rawks... :hi:


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,
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 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
But please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Wont you sign up your name, wed like to feel youre
Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

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.

9. yes it does!
so very true. then we spend the rest of our lives trying to get over being who we really are. that is if anyone dares to ask that question of themselves. many don't.

10. many sheep just follow the
media piper

lose themselves totally

i'm sure i'm not there myself yet

but i'm trying

and i've always hung on to the liberal ideas and openmindedness that I have.
