Green Beans Songtext
von Pretty Balanced

There is a can in the corner of the pantry
And it doesn′t have an expiration date
We're both afraid to go near it
Although it looks to be some delectable green beans
And we both like green beans
We′re both quite partial to green beans
And it looks to be some tasty canned green beans
Yet still we won't go near

We bought together this apartment just out of college
And we made our share of crucial mistakes
Forgetting that we lived together
At the tender age of 21
We bought generic brands

Oh no, but yes we did
Oh no, but yes we did
Oh no, but yes we did
Oh no


With all the nutrients soaked out
They've reached the plastic
With sorry yellow labels peeling off
The damaged goods we scrimped and pinched for
Try make it pretty
Surviving on and living for the cause
That goes without a cause
Believing we′re living for the cause

We climb to reach the goals they stay so far away
Two kids can make it on their own
It can′t be hard to do
Just get a job and an apartment
And some furniture and shit
No need for chairs
No need for something new
You can live second hand
But then you know you're living second hand
And then you wonder are you living at all

Beware of gas bills and electric
Taxes and water
Remember when they weren′t there at all


I believe you when you say we're okay
And we′ll make it someday
If we keep on living this way
I believe you when you say
That we will be okay
And we'll make it someday
If we keep on living this way
I believe you when you say
That we will be okay
