Supertramp takes on conformity and the education system in "The Logical Song." At the beginning of the song, the character is young and innocent. Then, the public school system gets its hands on him. The character is taught to conform and loses his creativity. Additionally, he's afraid to speak out for fear of being labeled or ostracized. The pressure to conform conflicts with his natural inclinations and he is left to beg people to "please tell me who I am." The confusion brought on by his education leaves our hero disillusioned at the end. His innocence and idealism lost.
