The Logical Song (Live) by Roger Hodgson
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 then 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 (1)____________ man
Won't you please
Please (2)________ me (3)________ we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am
I say, 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
(Whoa) (4)________ it, take it, (5)________ it (yeah)
But at night when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For (6)________ a simple man
Won't you please
Please (7)________ me what we've learned?
I know it (8)____________ absurd
But please tell me who I am
Who I am (come one)
Who I am
Who I am (yeah)
...
'Cause I'm (9)______________ so logical
...
(Oh) it's getting unbelievable
