Chick Lit
■We Are Scientists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wouldn't be caught dead with your kind
And all the hot shot carrying on that you do
It's your only move

I wanna see you all buried alive
And I'll be up top carrying on over you
Only for you
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
If after all we still have high hopes and all is forgiven, if all is forgiven
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again

You know that we've got some axes to grind
We've got some sharp tongue carrying on to do
It's your only move

I wanna see you all buried alive
And I'll be up top carrying on over you
Only for you

I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
If after all we still have high hopes and all is forgiven, if all is forgiven
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again

I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again




If after all we still have high hopes and all is forgiven, if all is forgiven
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again, again

Hmm, Ellen has space set up for her show guests to walk through room which has free gifts offered so each person goes home with a few goodies but a security camera catches a grown woman in the act of stealing. Then Ellen shows this to the viewers.
So, an audience guest ignores the rules; thinks she deserves more gifts than the others who were taking their gifts on the good faith system of honesty, and this woman thinks she is special and entitled to more.
You think Ellen, the host gift-giver is in the wrong for humorously but effectively shaming the chick who thought she was entitled to more than the rest? Interesting.
Ellen D is one of the most kind-hearted most generous people on the planet and generously gives a large portion of what her life's work has afforded her. Are you one of the hater crowd who think actors and musicians do not work hard & don't deserve their wealth?
Many of us really don't get this weird new anti-Hollywood, ant-TV, anti-music mentality. Where did that come from?
The snide and nasty insult on "MZ. Ellen" said all anyone needed to get your drift. You imply she "enjoys demeaning", "enjoys hurting others". You are bigoted, prejudiced and incorrect.
Her philanthropic endeavors include donating millions of dollars to help fight hunger, fight cancer and ending bullying. She launched the Small Change Campaign with Ben Affleck that contributes to fighting hunger throughout the United States. (taken off the internet as is)
One of Ellen's biggest charitable endeavors is the Campus for Rwanda, the community is building that will help educate young people, highlight the life's work of scientist naturalist Dian Fossey in saving the endangered mountain gorilla.
Building the campus is giving thousands of jobs to an impoverished community once under the ruin of violent Poachers. Do you have any idea of the billions Ellen has given to help the poor, the needy and endangered species she care for? Same goes for hundreds of other wealthy actors & musicians who give demonstrably to the disadvantaged. Or those providing musical instruments & theatrical equipment for our kids now deprived of Culture & the Arts due to Republican cuts on Education & Social Programs.
Hm.
Are you among the newly hatched entitled class of people of the anti-social mindset who think anybody should do whatever they damn well please, if they can get away with it!
Society can only succeeds when each person comprehends boundaries, knows the difference between right & wrong, obeys the laws put in place to keep civil order, don't you?
Or do you believe people can take law into their own hands and act as law enforcement, judge & jury by anointing him/herself vigilante?

You're right, I never would have believed a man could fall over a weak fence if it wasn't recorded. What would my life have been like without this video showing me such a profound event.

@jason_kenner

I was thinking the exact same thing. I am blown away by what took place. I did not know that such a phenomenon was possible. Thank goodness for camera's.
