Oh, I wish I were just a little independent pea,
So I didn't have to worry about anyone but me.
But I'm in the pod with the rest of those peas
Finding it impossible to please any of these.
If you cater to one, the other gets pissed;
Try to please both, then you're the one getting dissed.
It's like a nasty legacy passed down thru the years.
We're getting nowhere wasting gas grinding gears.
So what do you do with peas who can't get along in the pod?
The big soup maker in the sky decides to split those peas with a nod.
"If you can't be sweet, then we'll pound your green bods into cream.
"Some poor slob will think split pea soup is really a dream."
So that's what happens with peas who can't get along in the pod,
They have one last meeting in the blender with the split pea soup god.
It's a compliment, should anyone say you're a diplomatic example,
Unless your family crest is on a red and white label named Campbell.
