this fits...

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
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world that could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple mind.
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,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable,
Respectable, presentable, a vegatable

At night, when all the world's asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple mind.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd,
But please tell me who I am?
