The Logical Song" by Supertramp, released 1979

[corksean]

Just heard it on the radio, seems like it sums up perfectly the way things are today.

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 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.

Now watch what you say or they’ll be 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!

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.

1. It's *always* the Minstrels and the Jesters

who see things first. But to balance it out, they are never taken seriously until it's too late!

2. Love that song....

Soundtrack of my summer spent in Oregon, looking for chicks, beer and cheap pot.....

I told everyone I was on a journey to "find" myself....

Yep, as soon as I got there, the same old WC Green emerged....
