schöner Liedertext

[nguyen]

Ich mochte das Lied schon immer... heute ist mir aufgefallen,d as man den Text gar nicht mit einer Hippie-Eso-Brille zu sehen braucht, sondern er eigentlich nichts verklärt, sondern klar und deutlich die Wahrheit anspricht, vor der Logik warnt, ohne in die Emotionale Verwirrung zu führen...
Das große problem vieler, die ich kenne, ist es doch, dass sie so "dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical" sind!!

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 theyd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please, please tell me what weve 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, respecable, presentable, a veg'table!

At night, when all the worlds asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Wont you please, please tell me what weve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
