When I was young, it seemed that lilfe was so wonderful,
  G                  F          F#dimi
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
            Ami                                F          E
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
    G             F          F#dimi
oh, joyfully, oh, playfully, watching me.

But then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible,
logicalm oh, responsible practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical.

   Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
                      F                             B  Dmi
   I know it sounds absurd. 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!
