Push The Button - Frameshift

Caged in metal — my protection

Coordinates they read this direction

Whatever happened to

«Don't fire 'til you see their eyes»

New rules, new ways, more questions

How can I use my discretion

My brothers run by armed and eighteen

While I sit here controlled and waiting

I’d be the first to trade my button for a blade

Battlefields are brought to homes

Where children, babies, mothers roam

One button wills a game

While another one

Blows you away

I can kill with a finger

Can I kill without eyes

I can kill on demand

Can I kill without why

While humanity cries

I will kill in a box

Will I kill in the streets

I will kill my own conscience

Will I kill the peace

When I push the button in my dreams

And you scream

Silent screams

Corporate Schemes

Killing screams

Kill a few to save a lot

Don’t tell me, I know the cause

There’s no time to make up my mind

Army brass breathing down my back

In a think tank — life in the abstract

We are programmed to attack

When this flag goes on the war path

I’d rather fight this war with just a blade

No more metal sunk into my foe

How can tanks go toe to toe

I get a medal if you go down in flames

Walk away from this fate

Where children scream and cry

Take a new name

Move away from the safe

Out to where the bombs fly — I’ll pay

For my sin —

In the state that you’re livin' in

Don’t wait on me let’s begin again

Let me face the consequence

Never gonna hear a soldier cry

Unless you’re killin' him

Still gotta push the button
