When I was young
it seemed that life was so wonderful
a miracle
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 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 said now, watch what you say
now we’re calling you a radical
a liberal
fanatical, criminal
Won’t you sign up your name
we’d like to feel you’re acceptable
respectable
presentable, a vegetable
(Music)
But at night
when all the world’s asleep
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man
Won’t you please (Won’t you tell me), (You can tell me what)
please tell me what we’ve learned (Can you hear me?)
I know it sounds absurd, (Won’t you help me)
please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am
But I’m thinking so logical
Did you call, one two three four
It’s getting unbelievable
