aggiehawg, you piqued my curiosity so I found this;
The Logical Song- It was in early 1978 that 'The Logical Song' started coming together. The band were in Los Angeles, about to begin recording the Breakfast in America album, when Hodgson sat alone at a Wurlitzer electric piano and began playing around with a chord progression he'd toyed with, off and on, for a couple of months. "I had these chords written," he says, "and I hadn't thought much of them, to tell the truth. But then one day when I was playing the chords, I heard the melody. And as I started singing the melody, the first word that came to me was 'liberal'…" Immediately, Hodgson reeled off words that rhymed: intellectual, radical… logical. And in that moment, the whole concept for the song came into focus. "Right away, I knew what I wanted to say. The song was born out of my questions about what really mattered in life. Throughout childhood we're taught how to behave, yet we're very rarely told anything about the deeper purpose of life. We go from the innocence and wonder of childhood to the confusion of adolescence, and that often ends up in disillusionment in adulthood. And many of us spend our lives trying to get back to that innocence."
Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves and sheep.”
Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Edward Carrington, January 16, 1787
