There are buttons to push in two mighty nations.

But who's crazy enough to risk annihilation?

The buttons are there to ensure negotiation.

Be thankful our country allows demonstrations.
  G                              C
Instead of condemnin', make some recommendations.

I don't understand the cause of your aggravation.
    G                                C          G
You mean to tell me, boy, it's not a better situation?
