dubliners – the button pusher lyrics
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 n-body left but me
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
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 n-body left but me
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
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 n-body left but me
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 b-mp of my -ss as i go past
and we’ll all go up in smoke
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 n-body left but me
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 kill the whole bl–dy lot
to make the people free
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 n-body left but me
