The Button Pusher by Luke Kelly
The Button Pusher
[Chorus]
D
I am the man, the well fed man
A D
In charge of the terrible knob
D
The most pleasing thing about it
D
It's almost a permanent job
G
When the atom war is over
D A
And the world is split in three
D
A consolation I've got, well, maybe it's not
A D
There'll be nobody left but me
[Verse]
D
I sit at my desk in Washington
A D
In charge of this great machine
D
More vicious than Adolf Hitler
D
More deadly than strychnine
D
And in the evening after a tiring day
D A
Just to give myself a laugh
D
I hit the button a playful belt
A D
And I listen for the blast
[Chorus]
D
I am the man, the well fed man
A D
In charge of the terrible knob
D
The most pleasing thing about it
D
It's almost a permanent job
G
When the atom war is over
D A
And the world is split in three
D
A consolation I've got, well, maybe it's not
A D
There'll be nobody left but me
[Verse]
D
If Brezhnev starts his nonsense
A D
And makes a nasty smell
D
With a wink and a nod from Nixon
D
I'll blast them all to hell
G
And as for that fellow Castro
D A
Him with the sugar cane
D
He needn't hide behind his whiskers
A D
I'll get him just the same
[Chorus]
D
I am the man, the well fed man
A D
In charge of the terrible knob
D
The most pleasing thing about it
D
It's almost a permanent job
G
When the atom war is over
D A
And the world is split in three
D
A consolation I've got, well, maybe it's not
A D
There'll be nobody left but me
[Verse]
D
If me wife denies my conjucular rights
A D
Or me breakfast milk is sour
D
From eight to nine in the morning
D
You're in for a nervous hour
G
The button being so terribly close
D A
It's really a dreadful joke
D
A bump of my ass as I go past
A D
And we'll all go up in smoke
[Chorus]
D
I am the man, the well fed man
A D
In charge of the terrible knob
D
The most pleasing thing about it
D
It's almost a permanent job
G
When the atom war is over
D A
And the world is split in three
D
A consolation I've got, well, maybe it's not
A D
There'll be nobody left but me
[Verse]
D
Now I'm thinking of joining the army
A D
The army that bans the bomb
D
We'll take up a large collection
D
And I'll donate my thumb
G
For without it I am helpless
D A
And that's the way to be
D
You don't have to kill the whole bloody lot
A D
To make the people free
[Chorus]
D
I am the man, the well fed man
A D
In charge of the terrible knob
D
The most pleasing thing about it
D
It's almost a permanent job
G
When the atom war is over
D A
And the world is split in three
D
A consolation I've got, well, maybe it's not
A D
There'll be nobody left but me
