Who Will Push the Button ---- Tamicus

[Verse 1] I grew up in the sixties When we feared the lit-up sky And hid under desks, asking why I thought the cold war was over When the Berlin Wall came down But now we’re building different walls In every small town (pre-chorus) How many hates can you throw Before hate is all you make Is hope an illusion Or the risk we have to take [Chorus] Who will push the button Who will light the sky We keep smiling in the pictures While we practice saying goodbye Is the cold war really over Or just moved into our minds Who will push the button When we run out of time [Verse 2] Constant news at the edge of vision Blue glow on our faces at night We trade fear like superstition Call it wrong ‘cause it can’t be right And if you lived through nine eleven You still flinch at every plane in the night (pre-chorus) How many hates can you throw Before they circle back to you Is hope an illusion Or the bravest thing we do [Chorus] Who will push the button Who will light the sky We keep smiling in the pictures While we practice saying goodbye Is the cold war really over Or just moved into our minds Who will push the button When we run out of time [Bridge] I thought the wall had come down But we still divide friend from foe (oh) Is hope an illusion Or the last true thing we know (verse 3) We elected a madman to govern here And the rest of the world now lives in fear How much longer can we live in hate Until every situation just escalates We should’ve learned from Berlin That every wall needs a door To be free, to get out or get in [Chorus] Who will push the button Who will light the sky We keep laughing at the danger While we look for somewhere to hide Is the cold war really over Or just moved into our minds Who will push the button I think we’re running out of time…
