When I was young, it seemed our life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the pearls in the trees, they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh joyfully, ooh, playfully watching me
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

Critical, intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For that thousand pound man
Won't you please
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am
Now watch what you say
Oh they'll be calling you a radical
Liberal
Fanatical
Criminal
Criminal
Won't you sign up your name
We like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable
Presentable
A vegetable
If she is谁
But I'm a thief
People can do their thing



They do it for the first time

Life won't always be like one
And take you away
Oh boy
Such as empowerment
Won't you please
Please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am
Oh, won't you please
Please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am
