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 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, tick, tick, tick, 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
Oh, won't you tell me, can you tell me what I know it sounds absurd
Oh, can you hear me, I know it sounds
But please tell me who I am
Oh won't you help me and tell me who I am Who I am, who I am, who I am
