I have always thought

...... Stanza 2. Meaning .....
He expresses the no-win paradox scenario of cheese and onions, where cheese, the greatest food, and onions, the worst food, unfortunately exist side by side, representing the opposing forces of good and evil, where Good can unkindly be destroyed by evil. Cases in point how: youth and health degrades to old age and infirmity; prosperity perverts into poverty; love turns into hate; peace becomes war; and a grilled cheese sandwich is ruined by onions; are all congruent to how the wonderful quality taste of cheese is destroyed by the crappy disgusting putridity of onions.

Cheese and onions, could be a mysterious divine acronym, where each letter might represent an individual word or concept, like "c" for computer, but as of the year 2025, the enigma has not yet been deciphered or translated. He spells it out, to further express the emergency to decode the acronym.* He relates grief, sadness, and helplessness, by sighing, "oh no." at the impending demise of civilization.
{ ironical digression: Using the dreaded corrupt machines might possibly be the only way to decode the enigmatic acronym. }
.....Stanza-4. Doctrine……
Man or machine, (man or machine)
Keep yourself clean, (keep yourself clean)
Or be a has-been
(ah ah), Like a dinosaur
.....Stanza-4. Meaning.....
It is a Prophetic prediction of the saviour, man, versus the scourge, computer programs, where it will be necessary to keep clean or virtuous in order to prevent the evil and smutty algorithms, from causing the downfall of mankind, analogous to the Permian-Triassic extinction, also known as the Great Dying, that occurred around 252 million years ago.
.....Stanza-5. Doctrine……
Man or device, (man or device)
For everything nice, (everything nice)
You'd better think twice
(ah ah), At least once more
.....Stanza-5. Meaning.....
His repeating the parameters of the good versus evil conflict, and by using the term, device, is including and emphasising smart phones and other new advancements of computerization. He then states that Mankind's: future, survival, and Happiness is at stake.
He ends the, cheese and onions, foreboding divination with the warning to consider, reconsider, and deliberate about the danger of machines and devices. And instructs that you better take corrective actions soon, before it is too late to avoid annihilation.
.....in conclusion, the cheese and onions prophecy. appears to be accurate and realizing.
