Select language to translate this lyric
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 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
There are times 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?
I said now, watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical,
a liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name?
We'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable,
oh, presentable, a vegetable!
Mmm, take it, take it, take it, yeah!
But at night, 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,
(Won't you help me?)
But please tell me who I am,
who I am, who I am, who I am?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Take it out
'Cause I'm feeling so logical
Whoa, yeah
D-d-d-d-d-digital
1 - 2 - 3 and 5
Ooh, yeah
Take it down
It's getting unbelievable
B-b-b-bloody marvelous!
