the b_tton pusher lyrics
[chorus]
i am the man, the well fed man
in charge of the terrible kn_b
the most pleasing thing about it
it’s almost a permanent job
when the atom war is over
and the world is split in three
a consolation i’ve got, well, maybe it’s not
there’ll be n0body left but me

[verse 1]
i sit at my desk in washington
in charge of this great machine
more vicious than adolf hitler
more deadly than strychnine
and in the evening after a tiring day
just to give myself a laugh
i hit the b_tton a playful belt
and i listen for the blast

[chorus]
i am the man, the well fed man
in charge of the terrible kn_b
the most pleasing thing about it
it’s almost a permanent job
when the atom war is over
and the world is split in three
a consolation i’ve got, well, maybe it’s not
there’ll be n0body left but me
[verse 2]
if brezhnev starts his nonsense
and makes a nasty smell
with a wink and a nod from nixon
i’ll blast them all to h_ll
and as for that fellow castro
him with the sugar cane
he needn’t hide behind his whiskers
i’ll get him just the same

[verse 3]
if me wife denies my conjucular rights
or me breakfast milk is sour
from eight to nine in the morning
you’re in for a nervous hour
the b_tton being so terribly close
it’s really a dreadful joke
a bump of my ass as i go past
and we’ll all go up in smoke
[chorus]
i am the man, the well fed man
in charge of the terrible kn_b
the most pleasing thing about it
it’s almost a permanent job
when the atom war is over
and the world is split in three
a consolation i’ve got, well, maybe it’s not
there’ll be n0body left but me

[verse 4]
now i’m thinking of joining the army
the army that bans the bomb
we’ll take up a large collection
and i’ll donate my thumb
for without it i am helpless
and that’s the way to be
you don’t have to k!ll the whole bl__dy lot
to make the people free
