The Burgoo Boys - Feed 'Em Beans!

The Burgoo Boys give some more home-spun profound (and profane) wisdom about dealing with the complexities of life accompanied by some really fine bluegrass pickin'.  We think we've got them slowed down enough for most people to follow them. They're such virtuosos on their instruments that playing fast (warp speed fast) is not only possible, but preferable for them. These guys can burn up guitar strings and banjo skins when they really let loose! 

When beset by troubles and worries 
What helps get you get back straight and through it 
Us Burgoo boys have a foolproof way 
And it helps more than jest a little bit 
We say 
 
 Fuck 'em one and all, and feed 'em beans! 
Kill 'em all off, but spare jest six 
Them half dozen be the pallbearers 
Then hit 'em in the head with some bricks 
 
 This life can be like a hemorrhoid 
A really right pain in the ass 
Be like a stubborn kidney stone 
Hurts like hell 'til it decides to pass 
So we say 
 
Fuck 'em one and all, and feed 'em beans! 
Slap 'em long side the head, do it quick! 
No worries 'bout hurtin' them at all 
If ya can, do it with a big stick! 
 
On the job, got a prick for a boss
 That ain't such a peculiar switch 
Don't matter who they are, what they say
 Ain't nothin' but a son of a bitch 
So say to yerself 
 
Fuck 'em one and all, and feed 'em beans! 
They irritate, and it ain't no fluke! 
Ya cain't really tell 'em off that's true 
Git it out yer system 'fore ya puke! 
 
 Ain't suggestin' ya'll get violent 
Jest givin' idears to vent yer spleens 
Meet so many holier than thous 
Mealy mouthers , and drama queens 
So ya'll can say 
 
 Fuck 'em one and all, and feed 'em beans! 
Shut 'em up, gimme a goddam break 
Too many people can fuck ya over 
Take care of yerself, fer heaven's sake! 
 
 Fuck 'em one and all, and feed 'em beans!
 Kill 'em all off, but spare jest six 
Them half dozen be the pallbearers 
Then hit 'em in the head with some bricks
