Now thrown out and living in a complicated world wondering and asking God who is he now being away from the many answers he knew when young, and now that he's older asking questions about who he is by the world school educational system that is telling him ''who he was, who he should be and who he should become'' by the EVILUTION he has been thaught and evolved from. Believe or dont believe what I have to say, but it is the truth.Ī educational and ''Logical Song'' about the simple upbringing of the young man that enjoyed life naturally, being in his nature as one with God that was taken out of his natural nature state of upbringing that altered his state of mind. They want to destroy his beliefs for hope, in favor of a more "logical" world. In this case the people are telling him that he is a atheist, not a person who believes in God. I am simply stating what the song has to say in its moral lesson, as most Supertramp songs have. I personally believe in God but I'm not some priest saying if you dont believe you are wrong. All people need to answer this question, no one can tell you who you are by your beliefs or your anything. He asks God what he has learned and who he is. Wont you please, please tell me what we've learned? I know it sounds absurd, but please tell me who I am." means that the world is asleep in the faith life, and he is caught in a tug of war, thus the questions are too deep. The questions run to deep for such a simple man. The chorus "There are times when all the world is asleep. Thereby denying their request to deny a belief in God. In his mind the last word "Vegetable" is to show they can have no hope without God, a person who has no faith or is mentally dead. So this atheistic world invites him to sign up to become more "logical" so the people can feel he is acceptable, respectable, and presentable. If you do so you will be a radical, liberal, finatical, person considered a criminal. He warns much like the politically correct world we have to not say anything that could be offensive, or "I said now watch what you say!". This causes him to see the dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical world that is also very "logical" or atheistic, thus the name the "Logical Song". All words which mean to be realistic, thus calling God unrealistic or a fantasy. Sensible, Logical, Responsible Practical. As expected by his atheistic parents, who later "sent me away" to teach him that God is a child story to be a good person, instead of an all powerful existant being. This is about a kid who loved life and lived it in a manner that was centered around God. The song is about growing up and chosing your own identity, much like the song "Goodbye Stranger".
