Candy
Candy
My name is Andy but everybody calls me Candy
Even when I'm sure / sour1 like a candy I'm never right
Because I don't know much in life
I do illegal business in a very friendly way
I know the worlds going bad but for me everything's as usual
Because I don't know much in life
Other than pink is pretty
As much on people as inside them
I'm talking about clothes and blood
It's obvious
I don't know much in life
Other than bats have hair2
It's odd
Would they have lied to us?
Candy can't you see
That I'm naïve
What do you say?
When you see me crying tears of joy
Life is meaningless if
We don't take every chance
To live to the fullest each time
You're right
Let's not get worked up
Let's go out and party
Granted, we live in a certain comfort
So, there's no point in hurting yourself
With our trolls in the Senate
And the Albertan oil
In both cases it stinks, and it costs a lot
Here there's guys who'll have no more wages
Cause the shop's closing tomorrow
Though everyone knows it was heavily subsidized
The jig is up
The bosses have left
To their golden retirement
After that you say
That I'm the criminal here
Candy can't you see
That I'm naïve
What do you say?
When you see me crying tears of joy
Life is meaningless if
We don't take every chance
To live to the fullest each time
Let's not get worked up
Let's go out and party
Let's not get worked up
Let's go out and party
O.K. first of all
I'm gonna stop losing sleep over the state of my community
Even if in Ontario there aren't many, many French schools
Apologizing for living in French
Is like asking
Can I breathe please
But we will never go down on our knees
Whatever you tell us to do
But we will never go down on our knees
Whatever you tell us to do
Let's go out and party
Let's not get worked up
Let's go out and party
