Caged in metal my protection
Coordinates they read this direction
Whatever happened to don't fire
Till 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 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 br*** 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
