Ouch! I should have listened... When you said, "Don't touch!" What will it take For me to learn Not to burn? The same mistake. The burner aglow Yet, I don't know Not to touch But, it doesn't take much 'till I'm burnt Then, I've learnt The flame dances As I'm taking chances With the searing of my hand I come to understand And, I've learnt -- You play with fire You get burnt Is that my desire? It seems insane... Having to experience pain In order to refrain From self-destructive behavior Making mutilation my savior You'd think I'd learn From my experiences How not to burn Yet, over and over in the same circumstances Everyone chances The outcome will be different Well, it isn't And, we've learnt That we burnt Our last opportunity For peace, love and harmony Up in flames It shames Smoked and revoked What will it take For me to learn Not to burn? The same mistake.
