A Jar of Bees

 
I used to get into loads of trouble in my heyday
But I guess I used to like opening a can of worms
Watching the situation develop you could say
The mess I made would end up in bad terms

But worms move slowly, gradual and grossly
Giving you some time to think, move or react
The analogy is closely related but it’s also mostly
A way to explain how much it can have an impact

Open a jar of bees and these you will not appease
You’ll need to move fast or it’ll feel very prickly
Everything will go up by a couple of degrees
Because the situation is going to escalate quickly

Next thing you know you’ll be running in circles
The sting will bring a new kind of suffering
Might as well play music like you’re in a circus
While you jab, punch and miss with every swing

Opening a jar of bees might sound a little funny
When you hear the buzz you know it’s going to be bad
You’ll be in a swarm of trouble but most of all honey
Those little motherfuckers are going to be mad

So be wary and don’t try to open a jar of bees
Don’t make those kinds of decisions on the fly
And if you do, know your mind won’t be at ease
Oh please believe me, take it from this guy
