Once Bitten, Twice Shy Lyrics
I will witness it collapse
So it does, just thanks to us
Our many words, not done just heard
We leave this world
I feel so ashamed that we`re to blame
Obvious lie as we all die; once bitten, twice shy
What will make you understand?
Holding death in your hand?
You`ve got a sign in your fucking forehead; slow down or be dead!
But hey, leave it our kids, let`s sleep instead
And when you`ve come to realize it`s way too late
God dammit you HAVE realized and it`s way too late
Once bitten, twice shy?
Then how come we all die?
Await the better days, don`t pull your weight
I`ll laugh when you admit defeat
I feel the taste, we`re laid to waste
Will you stand the heat?
No one`s perfect, no one`s even bloody close
My brain`s my body`s defect, programmed to lose
And when you`ve come to realize it`s way too late
God dammit you HAVE realized and it`s way too late!
Await the better days, don`t pull your weight
I`ll laugh when you admit defeat
I feel the taste, we`re laid to waste
Will you stand the heat?
Once bitten, twice shy?
What will make you understand?
Holding death in your hand?
Await the better days, don`t pull your weight
I`ll laugh when you admit defeat
I feel the taste, we`re laid to waste
Will you stand the heat?
So it does, just thanks to us
Our many words, not done just heard
We leave this world
Obvious lie as we all die; once bitten, twice shy
Holding death in your hand?
But hey, leave it our kids, let`s sleep instead
God dammit you HAVE realized and it`s way too late
Then how come we all die?
I`ll laugh when you admit defeat
I feel the taste, we`re laid to waste
Will you stand the heat?
My brain`s my body`s defect, programmed to lose
God dammit you HAVE realized and it`s way too late!
I`ll laugh when you admit defeat
I feel the taste, we`re laid to waste
Will you stand the heat?
Holding death in your hand?
I`ll laugh when you admit defeat
I feel the taste, we`re laid to waste
Will you stand the heat?

It's a long shot, but I think this is about global warming - about the apathy of the older generation, and our willingness to destroy for a little luxury.
A few hints: "What will make you understand? Holding death in your hand?" (At what point do we stop? Only when it's too late?)
"And when you
ve come to realize its way too late God dammit you HAVE realized and it`s way too late" (self-explanatory)"Await the better days, don't pull your weight" (Just pretend it's not there, leave it to the younger generations)
"Once bitten, twice shy, Then how come we all die?" (as the saying goes, we have seen the destruction for ourselves, and should be more careful now; however, for whatever reason, this is not the case).
Like I said, a long shot, and I probably sound like Al Gore here, but it makes sense.
I thought about the exact same thing when I read the lyrics, global warming, or overall carelessness for the world
I agree with the two above me, definitely about the devastation of Earth's resources. "But hey, leave it our kids, let`s sleep instead" if that doesn't prove the meaning I don't know what does
