Al Stewart Candidate Lyrics

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
