The Young Romans The Logical Song song lyrics

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful

A miracle

It was beautiful, magical

All the birds in the trees, they'd be singing so happily

Joyfully

Playfully, watching me

But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible

Logical

Responsible, practical

And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable

Clinical

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 radical

Liberal

Fanatical, criminal

Won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable

Respectable

Presentable, 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

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

Who I am

Who I am

Who I am
