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, they’d be singing so happily
so joyfully,
playfully watching me.
But then they sent 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.
The Logical Song by Supertramp
