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, 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, now watch what you say

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, please tell me what we've learned? (Oh won't you tell me, tell me what we've learned?)

(Can you hear me? I know it sounds absurd) I know it sounds absurd

(Oh won't you help me, and tell me who I am?) Please tell me who I am

Who I am, who I am, who I am

Ow

Hey

'Cause I was feelin' so logical

Yeah

D-d-d-d-d-d-d-digital

Yeah, one, two, three, five

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah

Ooh, it's gettin' unbelievable

Yeah

Gettin', gettin'

Ooh
