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. ~ ♪
