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 theyd 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 worlds asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Wont you, please, please, tell me what weve learned?
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am
Now watch what you say
Theyll be calling you a radical
A liberal
Oh fanatical, criminal
Oh, wont you sign up your name?
Wed like to feel youre acceptable
Respectable
Oh presentable, a vegetable
But at night, when all the worlds asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Wont you please wont you tell me?
Please tell me what weve learned? can you hear me?
I know it sounds absurd oh wont you help me?
Please tell me who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Cause Im feeling so illogical
D-d-d-d-d-d-digital
One, two, three, five
Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
Its gettin unbelievable
Yeah
