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 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 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 (won't you tell me?) Please tell me what we've learned? (can you hear me?) I know it sounds absurd Please tell me who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am 'Cause I'm feeling so illogical D-d-digital One, two, three, four, five Oh oh oh oh Unbelievable B-b-bloody marvelous

“The Logical Song” foi lançada como primeiro single do álbum *Breakfast in America* em março de 1979.
A letra foi escrita principalmente por Roger Hodgson, inspirada em suas lembranças de dez anos passados em um internato.
A música se tornou o maior sucesso da Supertramp, alcançando a posição 7 nas paradas do Reino Unido e 6 na Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA.
Em 2001, a versão da banda Scooter revitalizou a canção, levando‑a novamente ao top 10 em diversos países europeus.
