Candidate lyrics
One, two, three
That s how elementary it s gonna be
Just fine and dandy
It s easy
Like taking candy from a baby

Primitive country
Rich in minerals, you
Pay them with beads
Tip the generals
It s easy
Like taking candy from a baby

The hard part is learning about it
The hard part is breaking through to the truth
The hard part is learning to doubt
What you read, what you hear, what you see on the news.

Foreign policy
Made above my head, well
No one asked me
They just laughed and said
It s easy (it s so easy)
Like taking candy from a baby
It s easy (it s so easy)
Like taking candy from a baby

(One, two three, ah...)
(One, two three, ah...)

Once they get you sucked into the system
Once they get you under control
The hard part is knowing how to resist
The grip that they keep on your mind and your soul

So in the end
We just compromise
And pretend
If you close your eyes
It s easy (it s so easy)
Like taking candy from a baby
It s easy (it s so easy)
Like taking candy from a baby
