Matthew Fisher - It's So Easy lyrics

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
