THE LOGICAL SONG-SUPERTRAMP

Taken from Supertramps’s 1979 album Breakfast In America, this is one of their best known hits. The song is about a man who is taken away from the unspoilt immediacy of childhood, undergoes education and sees a future prepared for him lacking any spontaneity of reaction. He feels constricted in his freedom of speech, is put under pressure to conform and ends up confused, without a coherent self-image. 

La letra es una «historia de inocencia e idealismo perdido»​ en la que Hodgson condena a un sistema educativo no basado en el conocimiento y la sensibilidad.​

La canción cuenta la historia de un hombre que:

• Se siente lejos de una niñez pre-adánica, inocente y feliz:
  • «When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical».
  • (Cuando era joven, parecía que la vida era tan maravillosa, un milagro, ¡oh, era bella, mágica!).
• Fue sometido a una estricta educación:
  • «But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical».
  • (Pero entonces me mandaron lejos para enseñarme a ser sensato, lógico, responsable, práctico).
• Ve un futuro preparado para él sin ninguna reacción espontánea:
  • «And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical».
  • (Y me enseñaron un mundo donde podía ser tan confiable, frío, intelectual, cínico).
• Se siente coartado en su libertad de expresión:
  • «Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, liberal, fanatical, criminal».
  • (Ahora mira bien lo que dices, o te llamarán radical, liberal, fanático, criminal).
• Es presionado para conformarse:
  • «Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable, presentable... a vegetable!»
  • (¿No firmarás con tu nombre?, nos gustaría pensar que eres aceptable, respetable, presentable..., ¡un vegetal!).
• Y termina confundido, sin una imagen coherente de sí mismo:
• «Please tell me who I am, who I am, who I am!»
• (Por favor dime quién soy, quién soy, quién soy!).
