One Two Three (1, 2, 3) Songtext / Lyric

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, aaah)

(One, two three, aaah)



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.
