The Logical Song by Supertramp
When I was young, it (1)____________ that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be (2)______________ so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But (3)________ (4)________ send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they (5)____________ me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are (6)__________ (7)________ all the world's asleep,
the (8)__________________ run too deep
for (9)________ a (10)____________ man.
Won't you please, (11)____________ (12)________ me (13)________ we've learned
I (14)________ it sounds absurd
but please (15)________ me who I am.
Now watch (16)________ you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you (17)________ 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 such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but (18)____________ tell me who I am.

And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be (2)______________ so happily,
