Emmerson Nogueira - The Logical Song lyrics

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 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 But please tell me who I am Now watch what you say Or 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 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, who I am, who I am, who I am
