What it is

"The Logical Song" is a 1979 single by Supertramp and the lead single from Breakfast in America. Roger Hodgson was the main writer, with Rick Davies also credited. It draws on Hodgson's years at boarding school and his view that childhood teaches people to function outwardly but rarely helps them discover who they are inside.
