Finger On The Button
Finger On The Button: Unmasking Power and Deceit in Blue Cactus's Anthem
Lyrics
Well you got your finger drummer desk
Referring to a person with a desk job and the habit of tapping fingers on the desk.
How ‘bout you get some rest now
Suggesting the person take a break and rest.
You ain’t been doin’ jack
Pointing out the lack of productivity or meaningful activity.
‘Cept hang around the office
Spending time idly at the workplace.
And wait around for talk that’s
Waiting for gossip or rumors that are likely negative.
Bound for behind your back
Anticipating discussions or criticism behind one's back.
And you got your finger on the button, finger on the button
Having control or influence over a significant decision or action.
Ain’t you been talkin’ big about something
Noticing the person boasting about something important.
Penny roll a’guttin’ a cannibal cannonball
Using playful language to describe extravagant or wasteful spending.
Breaker funnin’ wag it til’ you’re nothing
Engaging in frivolous activities until achieving nothing substantial.
But a finger on a button too
Reduced to merely having control over a situation without meaningful results.
And you got your creamsicle complexion
Commenting on an artificial or fake appearance.
Paid for your erections
Suggesting that achievements or success are purchased or not genuine.
You laugh and talk of thee and thine
Making light of self-centered talk about oneself and one's possessions.
To hover on the news boy
Discussing current events but with a lack of genuine concern.
Cover up the bruise boy
Attempting to hide or downplay negative aspects of oneself.
Your knuckle made a real shine
Boasting about a polished appearance or presentation.
And you got your finger on the button, finger on the button
Reiterating the theme of having control or influence over a significant decision.
Ain’t you been talkin’ big about something
Pointing out continued boasting or talking about something important.
Penny roll a’guttin’ a cannibal cannonball
Repeating the theme of extravagant or wasteful spending.
Breaker funnin’ wag it til’ you’re nothing
Continuing to engage in frivolous activities without meaningful outcomes.
But a finger on a button too
Emphasizing the lack of substance despite having control over a situation.
But you’re balking in a beehive
Describing someone who is complaining or criticizing in a busy environment.
Talking out your behind
Talking insincerely or without credibility.
You tweet a bad tune or two
Using social media to spread negative or unhelpful messages.
Nah you ain’t in no position
Challenging the person's credibility to criticize inefficiency.
To call it inefficient
Suggesting the person lacks the authority to label something as inefficient.
Boy we oughta just deport you!
Expressing a strong disapproval or suggestion of removal.
And you got your finger on the button, finger on the button
Repeating the theme of having control or influence over a significant decision.
Ain’t you been talkin’ big about something
Pointing out continued boasting or talking about something important.
Penny roll a’guttin’ a cannibal cannonball
Repeating the theme of extravagant or wasteful spending.
Breaker funnin’ wag it til’ you’re nothing
Continuing to engage in frivolous activities without meaningful outcomes.
But a finger on a button too
Emphasizing the lack of substance despite having control over a situation.
