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, responsible, practical
-
And then they showed me a world
-
Where I could be so dependable
-
Clinical, 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 say, "Now what would you say for they calling you a radical
-
Liberal, fanatical, 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
-
But 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
-
D-d-digital
-
Oh it's getting unbelievable
-
Bloody marvellous
