Matthew Fisher - It’s So Easy текст песни

Can you still remember that very first interview
After they'd tested you so they could find out your IQ
And now before they made that last selection
They thought they'd like to ask you a couple a questions

So now
Tell us what books you've read and what do you do in your spare time
And what do you wanna be in seven years or more
Ooh it's so easy if you understand the questions
It's so easy if you already know the answers
It's so easy if you've heard it all before

And then a few years later they told you you were free
Another interview and a few more lies is what you need
But now the old replies aren't too reliable
It's no good saying "Shakespeare" and "The Bible"

When they say
Tell us what books you've read and what does your old man do
And where do you want to be by the time you're 34
Ooh it's so easy if you understand the questions
It's so easy if you already know the answers
It's so easy if you've heard it all before

So now you've burned your bridges, you gotta keep on going
But where it's all gonna lead you've really got no way of knowin'
And now you find you're livin' with a curse
'Cause all the time the questions get worse and worse

So now
How do you like your job and how do you like my daughter
Say goodbye to that girl of yours and you can be my son-in-law
Ah but it was easy when you understood the questions
It was easy when you already knew the answers
It was easy when you'd heard it all before
