[Verse 1]
When I was young, it seemed like 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
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
[Verse 2]
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical
[Verse 3]
There are times when all the world's asleep
And the questions run too deep
For such a simple man
[Verse 4]
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am
[Verse 5]
I said, now watch what you say, or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh, won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable
Oh, take it, take it, take it, yeah
[Verse 6]
But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
[Verse 7]
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
[Verse 8]
'Cause I was feeling so logical
Yeah
[Verse 9]
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-digital
One, two, three, five
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh yeah
It's getting unbelievable, yeah
