Magnolia movie - The Logical Song lyrics

rate me

Song by Supertramp<br /><br>

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,<br>

a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.<br>

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,<br>

joyfully, playfully watching me.<br>

But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,<br>

logical, responsible, practical.<br>

And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,<br>

clinical, intellectual, cynical.<br>

<br>

There are times when all the world's asleep,<br>

the questions run too deep<br>

for such a simple man.<br>

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned<br>

I know it sounds absurd<br>

but please tell me who I am.<br>

<br>

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,<br>

liberal, fanatical, criminal.<br>

Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're<br>

acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!<br>

<br>

At night, when all the world's asleep,<br>

the questions run so deep<br>

for such a simple man.<br>

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned<br>

I know it sounds absurd<br>

but please tell me who I am.<br>

<br>
