When I was young, it seemed that l ife was so w onderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful , magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be s inging so h appily,
jo yfully, pl ayfully w atching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
lo gical, re sponsible, practical.
And they s howed me a world where I could b e so depen dable,
cl inical, i ntellectual, c ynical.
There are t imes when all the world's a sleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you p lease, please tell me what we've l earned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable !
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.
