Take Good Care
Take good care,
Don't push the buttons
Lives so precious
When you're standing in the firing line
You don't know me
But I seen you
Oh, so high and mighty shooting at some friends of mine
Just take good care,
Don't push the buttons
Lives so precious,
When you're standing in the firing line
Too much blood
Too many tears shed
Just how much before the man turns our souls to dust
Have you had enough
Just take good care please,
Don't push the buttons
Lives so precious,
When you're standing in the firing line
Take good care,
Don't push the buttons
Lives so precious
When you're standing in the firing line
You don't know me
But I seen you
Oh, so high and mighty shooting at some friends of mine
Just take good care,
Don't push the buttons
Lives so precious,
When you're standing in the firing line
Too much blood
Too many tears shed
Just how much before the man turns our souls to dust
Have you had enough
Just take good care please,
Don't push the buttons
Lives so precious,
When you're standing in the firing line
