Beware of the Dog
Navigating Life's Warnings: Beware of the Dog
Lyrics
Beware of the dog
Warning about potential danger or trouble ahead, using "dog" metaphorically.
You would do better find a place where you belong
Suggesting the listener should find a more suitable place or situation.
I've been here a while, from what I've seen
Implying experience and observation of the surroundings.
There's only so much you can say that you don't mean
Highlighting the limitation of insincere communication.
Flapjacks! A dime a dick
Using unconventional language to criticize and advise against associating with negative individuals.
You would do better to stop messin' with those pricks
Reiterating the advice to avoid negative influences.
I've been here a while, and I should know
Asserting authority based on experience.
There ain't no party once they say you gotta go
Warning that the good times end when you are told to leave.
Beware
Repetition for emphasis on the need to be cautious.

-You should've seen it coming
Expressing that the negative outcome should have been anticipated.
You had been warned before
Reminding that a warning was given previously.
You didn't heed the warning
Stating the listener did not take the earlier warning seriously.
You think you're keeping score
Suggesting a misconception about success or achievement.
You should've seen it coming
Repetition emphasizing the importance of recognizing warning signs.
You had been warned before
-You didn't heed the warning
-You think you're keeping score

Highlighting a failure to learn from past warnings and a false sense of accomplishment.
