Please let me introduce:

Our responsibility
… to society

Includes you and me
(We?)
Oui

So… Here we are
(Revolving around the same star)
Though we travel so far…
You hate to participate
(Why leave it to fate?)
It’s not too late

Includes you and me

Obviously

ABOUT THE SONG
Things that sting your eyes include allergens (pollen, pet dander), environmental irritants (smoke, chlorine, dry air), chemical irritants (shampoo, cleaning products, makeup), eye strain, dry eye syndrome, and various infections like pink eye. Insect stings to the eye or eyelid area, though rare, are an emergency and can cause severe damage.

ABOUT THE SONG
Fire ants sting by first biting with their mandibles to latch onto a surface, then arching their bodies to inject venom with their stingers, which are modified ovipositors. The venom, a mix of alkaloids and proteins, causes a burning sensation, pain, and eventually sterile pustules. Ants often sting multiple times, creating a circular pattern of welts on the skin.
