When I was young, it seemed that

Beautiful, magical.

And all the birds in the trees, well, they'd be

Singing so happily,

Playfully watching me.

Responsible, practical.

And then they showed me a world where I could
 G#      G
Be so dependable,

Oh, clinical, oh,

Intellectual, cynical.

Chorus 1: 0:53
           D#
There are times
                        Cm
When all the world's asleep,
                       G#
The questions run too deep

For such a simple man.

Won't you please,
                           Cm
Please tell me what we've learned?

But please tell me who I am.

I said, now watch what you say or they'll be
 G#            G
Calling you a radical,

A liberal, oh,

Fanatical, criminal.

Oh, won't you sign up your name, we'd like to
 G#            G
Feel you're acceptable,
    A#
Respectable, oh,
    G#          G#7
Presentable, a vegetable.
Oh, take, take, take it, yeah!

For such a simple man.
