Lyrics
JELLYBEANS by Scott Detweiler
In the world there are two classes
Of people you can see
Some content to follow
And others have to lead
When the leaders get together
They scream and bitch and brawl
Don’t you wish that one of them
Would see the writin on the wall?
The king danced in his castle
While the hills were rollin green
Serfs were in the plowlands
Growin submarines
Like a dog who’s playin baseball
And like a man who’s eatin bone
It doesn’t make sense anyway
Cause one day we’ll all be gone
Work until the sun goes down
Bring your bacon home
Save it for your pot of gold
To spend while you grow old
It’s not worth a globe of jellybeans
Cause when you’re gone you’re by yourself
And you’re big ol pot of jellybeans
Sits lonely on the shelf
Like a dog who’s playin baseball
And like a man who’s eatin bone
It doesn’t make sense anyway
Cause one day we’ll all be gone
