Lyrics
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
Oh joyfully, playfully watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh 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
Please tell me who I am
I said, watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
Liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
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 yeah
But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you 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
'Cause I was feeling so logical
D-d-digital
One, two, three, five
It's getting unbelievable

I...fell...in love with this song the first time it was played on the radio. And I was about 10 years old in the summer of 79.

[jonathancarter]

One of the greatest lyrics to a song I've ever come across by one of the greatest bands!.

[joeschneider]

Wow, those words. Its what we are living now. This world falling apart

[nitewolf]

Seem to fit in the world we live in today....💞

[thespanishgod]

GENIUS props to Music & Lyrics!!!

[TamTam-pued]

It’s so beautiful so we’ll done thank you so much for sharing

[busterhyman]

What a perfectly, complementary series of images to underscore this song’s message.
And—as Stevie Wonder once sang:
“Heaven Help Us All.”

[thehandsomeboy]

For me, this song was unknown because it never played, it always was filed, but, since the first time I listened, around 7 or 8 years ago, I liked too much and I always enjoy to listen it. Definitely, the classic music is simply and plainly, the best.

[fieldy]

this song is perfect for the opening of Netflix's Spiderhead.

[sharifahmadznah]

Thanks for this beautifully made video. I learned many new terminology from this song when I was about 10 yo in 1979

[beachrose]

Great song. Those days are gone forever..Never to return. World full of psychopathic perves

[stephenmacconnoran]

Thanks for this, y'all. Loving care was employed to put this splendid video together to pay homage to this eternally great song.

[tracyford]

This song speaks louder to me than any other. I love how he equates being acceptable with a vegetable.

[alichesa]

Qué cancion más bonita. Such a beautiful song. Great Supertramp

[raffingisele]

Encore encore
J’adore cette chanson
Ces paroles si justes et vraies
Indémodable supertramp et super album

[corkydelarge]

To be logical is to reject the status quo of practical. Tell me who I am! ?

[BrokenAdam]

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, oh, joyfully, oh, playfully
watching me.

But then they sent 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.

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, please tell
me who I am.

I said 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!

But 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, please tell
me who I am.

Who I am, who I am, who I am?

Cause I was feeling so logical!

Digital!

Yeah, 1, 2, 3, 4!

Ooh, ooh, ooh, liberal!

[Mark-fyiu]

Nice work it the choreography of visual and audio.

[corkydelarge]
