We have a fearless leader we can trust
Who’s proved to us already that he would
Destroy communities for their own good
Burn shadows into pavements, flesh to dust
He flaunts the firmest finger, face that fits
A leader who can make that tough decision
Personifies the stone-heart politician
Choose yes or no to blow the world to bits
– When button push one day will come to shove
– Cometh that cold judgement, come the hour
– You may prefer your lamb dressed up as mutton
– A warring ruler’s hate or human’s love?
– The last one I would want to have that power
– Is one who says that he would press the button.
