“The Logical Song” is a song by the British rock band Supertramp, released on their 1979 album “Breakfast in America”. It was written by band members Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies, and became one of their most popular songs.
The song is a satirical look at the education system, with Hodgson’s lyrics describing the pressures of conforming to societal norms and expectations. The catchy melody and upbeat tempo are in contrast to the serious subject matter, making it a memorable and thought-provoking tune.
Some of the memorable lyrics from the song include:
“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, 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.”
The song’s popularity has endured over the years, with its message still resonating with audiences today.
