Beans and Genes

I'd like you to hear the dreams
Of a grown-ass man with a little bag of beans
He picked up in Vegas back in Sep
The call was made and he lost the bet

Now lying in the comfy mud
Got those repeating beans in his blood 
He wipes all the mucky brown around
Makes his big brown bed without a sound

Beans beans beans
A little bag of genes
Full of different things
Good, bad and ugly and alluring

Genes genes genes
A little bag of beans
Full of distant dreamings
Could be your day or your undoing

Somehow good, a boiling pot 
Even as he burns he says he's not 
But warm brown mud and beans
Are a good recipe for growing dreams

And he still remembers how
He hoped for a brighter, cleaner now
And with more days of sun
There's a thick vine for climbing up upon

Beans beans beans
A little bag of genes
Full of different nothings
Good, bad and ugly and assuring

Genes genes genes
A little bag of beans
Full of distant dreamings
Some quickly dead but some improving
