"Open A Can Of Human Beans" lyrics - XTC

Turn that opener at a pretty fast rate
Pour out the contents on a big round plate
Poke around a while and then you'll see
They're just like you and they're just like me

Open a can of human beans
Open a can and see their crazy dreams
And stranger schemes

Open a can of human beans
Open a can and see their loving scenes
With war machines

Everybody got an appetite on fire
Everybody want a slice of heaven
But of self-devouring we will never tire
If you are what you eat
Grab a knife and fork and take your seat

Open a can of human beans
Open a can and see their crazy dreams
In reds and greens

Open a can of human beans
Open a can and see their loving scenes
In magazines

Everybody got a feeding frenzy now
Everybody want a piece of action
But we think that we're above the pig sheep cow
If you are what you eat
Shake hands with your dinner when we meet

Turn that opener at a pretty fast rate
Pour out the contents on a big round plate
Poke around a while and then you'll see
They're just like you and they're just like me

Everybody's got an appetite on fire
Everybody wants a slice of heaven
But of self-devouring we will never tire
If you are what you eat
Grab a knife and fork and take your seat

Open a can
Open a can
Open a can
