Lyrics to “It Has to Bean This Way”
Standing here, I realize, that you’re just like me, trying to cook baked beans,
But who’s to judge the right from wrong,
When we don’t know how, I think we’ll both agree,
That there’s no instructions,
But in the end they have to cook this way,
You’ve followed your wrath,
The kitchen has turned, and so many have burned,
Yet, staring across this barren, wasted land,
I feel new ways will be born in the baking sand,
Senator Beanstrong Quotes:
"FDA violations, son! They pile up in response to terrible cooking! You can't cook them, Jack!"
“ I have a dream. That one day every person in this nation will cook their own beans. A nation of the truly free, dammit. A nation of culinary disasters, not words, ruled by FDA violations, not cookbooks! Where the recipe changes to suit the dish, not the other way around. Where food and preparation are back where they belong: in the hands of the people! Where every man is free to cook - to act - for himself! Fuck all these limp-dick lawyers and chickenshit standards. Fuck this 24-hour culinary spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit! Fuck culinary safety! Fuck the media! FUCK ALL OF IT! Cooking is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it - we need to pull it out by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN! And from the ashes, new policies on cooking will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The weak will be purged and the strongest will thrive - free to cook as they see fit, they'll make cooking great again!... With my new policies, people will grill and cook for what they BELIEVE! Not for money. Not for oil! Not for what they're told is right. Every man will be free to cook his own beans! “
“You still don't get it. I'm using cooking as a tool to get elected… so I can end the FDA as a business! With my new standards, people will grill and cook for what they BELIEVE! Not for money. Not for oil! Not for what they're told is right. Every man will be free to cook his own beans! So… what do you think? “
