Writer(s): Rick Davies, Roger Hodgson
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 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
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
Oh take it take it take it 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....
Hey Oh yeah Whoo
Hey Yeah
We're all thinking so logical
Hey Yeah
di di di di di di di di woo
