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, oh playfully watching me

But then they sent 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, but please tell me who I am

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!

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
But please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am, who I am.
