The Logical Song by Supertramp

a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to (1)__________ me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a (2)__________ where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times (3)________ all the world's asleep,
the (4)__________________ run too deep
for such a (5)____________ man.
Won't you please, (6)____________ tell me what we've learned
I (7)________ it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you (8)________ 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 (9)____________ man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.
