The Logical Song by Supertramp

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, (1)________ they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, (2)__________________ watching me.
But then they send me away to (3)__________ me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world (4)__________ I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are (5)__________ when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a (6)____________ man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it (7)____________ absurd
but (8)____________ 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, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for (9)________ a simple man.
Won't you please, (10)____________ tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.
