Good Evening/Song Of The Day: Supertramp - “The Logical Song”
Posted by: Chaoz in Song Of The Day, Good EveningWell the good news is I’m finally on vacation. The bad news is how long will it take before work tries to intrude on it. I give it 12 hours…
Okay, we’re gonna start with a song running on my phone lately. To me, its as topical as ever.
Supertramp - “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, playfully - watching me.
But then they send 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 what would you say they’ll be calling you “A Radical”.
“A Liberal.” “Fanatical “ “Criminal.”?
Won’t you sign up your name? We’d like to feel you’re
accept-able, respect-able, present-able, a vegat-able!
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!
Cause I’m feeling so Illogical. Digital. So unbelievable…
