Rites of Passage (1997)

The Logical Song
 

 



 

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,
joyfully, oh, playfully, watching me

But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, oh, responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, oh, 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

I said now, watch what you say,
or they'll be calling you a radical,
a liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name?
We'd like to feel you're acceptable,
respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable!

But 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
