My Red Beans Are Dead

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Deep in his cave where the fire burns low

Beelzebub watches the old CRT glow

The Powerpuff Girls are putting on a show

He waits for HIM when the trouble starts to flow

The credits roll the screen fades black

He kills the set and heads outside

But one look at his precious field

And all the color leaves his eyes

Pre-Chorus

Dead vines beneath a burning sky

Cracked red earth as far as he can see

He clenches his fists and starts to curse

In tongues no living soul could speak

Chorus

MY RED BEANS ARE DEAD!

Burned beneath this cursed red sky!

MY RED BEANS ARE DEAD!

Tell me why — tell me WHY!

DAMN THIS HEAT!

DAMN THIS LAND!

Who in Hell would grow a bean in Hell?!

MY RED BEANS ARE DEAD!

Verse 2

He kicks the dust and shakes his fist

He screams until the caverns ring

The Devil hears the racket grow

And wonders what the fool is yelling

A shutter creaks above his head

The Devil slowly looks outside

He sees the field he sees the fool

And tries his best to hide his smile

Bridge

Then comes the laugh—

HA! HA! HA! HA!

He laughs until the window shakes

He wipes his eyes and looks below

"You fool!

You're in Hell—

NOT SWITZERLAND!"

BANG!

The shutters slam. The Devil's gone.

Guitar Solo

Final Chorus

MY RED BEANS ARE DEAD!

Burned beneath this cursed red sky!

MY RED BEANS ARE DEAD!

No rain is ever falling here!

DAMN THIS HEAT!

DAMN THIS LAND!

I should've known better than to plant by hand!

MY RED BEANS ARE DEAD!

DEAD!

DEAD!

Outro

HA! HA! HA! HA!
