Lyrics
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 simple man.
Won't you please,
Please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am.
I said now what would you say
Now we're 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!
Take, take, take it
But at night, when all the world's asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please,
Won't you tell me
Please tell me what we've learned
Can you hear me
I know it sounds absurd
Why won't you help me
But please tell me who I am.
Who I am, who I am, who I am,
'Cause I was feeling so logical
Digital
One two three four
Liberal
