Songwriters: Davies, R; Hodgson, R;
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
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, responsible, practical
And then 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,
they'll be calling you a radical
A Liberal, fanatical, a criminal
Won't you sign up your name
We'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable,
presentable, a vegetable
Oh, ch-ch-check it out yeah
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
'Coz I'm feeling so illogical
D-d-digital
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Unbelievable
B-b-bloody marvelous
I get the idea you are conveying. But apparently, you were not sent away to school. Important...inportant. whats...what's. aren't...arent. truely...truly. Necessary...nessary?
