How I Learned to Stop Giving a Shit and Love Mindless Self Indulgence
Ahh, Ahh, Ahh

When I was young,
It seemed that life was so wonderful,
Oh, a miracle,
Oh, it was beautiful, magical.

And all the birds in the trees,
Well, they were singing so happily,
J-j-j-joyfully,
Oh, playfully watching me.

But-But-But-But-But-But then they sent me away,
To teach me how to be sensible,
L-l-l-logical,
Oh, responsible, practical.

And then they showed me a world
Where I could be dependable,
C-c-c-clinical,
Oh, intellectual, cynical.

There are times,
when all the world's asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.

Won't you please,
Please tell me what we've 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,
A l-l-liberal,
Oh, fanatical, criminal.

Oh, won't you sign up your name?
We'd like to feel you're acceptable,
R-r-respectable,
Oh, presentable, a vegetable.
Take it, take it, take it, yeah!

But at night,
When all the world's asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.

Won't you please,
Please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd,
But please tell me who I am.
Who I am.
Who I am.
Who I am.

L-l-l-l-l-l-logical!

C-c-c-criminal!

R-r-r-r-r-respectable!

Ooh!

Oh, Logical, oh!
