I think he's useing the 17 Year Locust as a symbol of the world. We're taking all this time to devolop into an understanding intelectual society that the mistakes we've made in the past are unfixable. So when we do finaly come to understand and accept completely, we will be soon to die from our past mistakes. Much like the 17 Year Locust developes underground for 17 years but then only acctually live for a few weeks. Also the lines
"I see the sun burning in your eye
I see the sun call a suicide (come on)" and
"Well, I ain't the one burning in your eye
I ain't the one call a suicide (come on)"
mean that he sees whats causing your death, and it isn't him. Many people think that the violence in the media and rock stars are the ones to cause for all the violence, and of course Rob Zombie is a heavy metal, and somewhat violent rock star. So he's saying it's not his fault. Sorry for such a long speech.
