Eat Your Green Beans

There was a time when
The ends justified the means
Mama said eat those green beans
And everything will be alright
Kiss you on the head goodnight
And then you’re of to bed
Don’t ask questions
Just do what your mama said
Look around, your mama
Ain’t there anymore
No one to tell you what to do
Like she’s done before
Mentally slow, still a child
Now forced to make it on your own
And you’re feeling, oh, so alone
Life is a book, it’s up to you to turn the page
It’s time to grow up, right now
It’s time to start acting your age
Let go of her hand is what you got to do
This is one fairy tale your mom can’t read to you, to you
