Lyrics for 1-2-3

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
