Push the Panic Button
Youthful Choices Unveiled: Pushing the Panic Button
Lyrics
Well Billy Wayne was found this morning passed out in his car
Billy Wayne was found unconscious in his car in the morning.
In the back seat was a woman that he'd picked up in a bar
A woman he picked up in a bar was in the back seat with him.
When his mother heard her only words were this must be a dream
His mother, upon hearing the news, thought it must be a dream.
Billy wasn't Billy couldn'd he's just seventeen
Billy seems changed; he's just seventeen and not himself.
Push the panic button call the doctor call the preacher
Call for urgent help and intervention.
Blame this generation blame the high school teacher
Blame the current generation and the high school teacher.
Walk the floor and wring your hands and use God's name in vein
Express distress, anxiety, and frustration using God's name in vain.
Then look into your mind and find the ones who are to blame
Reflect on one's own responsibility and find those accountable in your mind.
Well Mary Anne came home tonight with teardrops in her eyes
Mary Anne returns home with tears, revealing the truth.
And told her dad where she has been instead of telling lies
She confesses to her dad instead of lying about her whereabouts.
He said cruel things and called her names said he didn't understand
Her dad responds with cruelty and insults, unable to comprehend her actions.
How a girl so young could be so dumb and get mixed up with a man
Expressing disbelief that a young girl could make such mistakes and associate with a man.
Push the panic button...
Repeat of the chorus, emphasizing the need for urgent action and blaming.
Remember that footsteps lift the path your children walk
Parents' actions and words influence their children's paths.
And the words they hear you use make up the language that they'll walk
Words used by parents shape the language their children adopt.
To a youngster's eyes there's no disguise he'll look inside your mind
To a child, there's no disguise; they observe and internalize from parents.
And unconsciously they'll follow into the path you leave behind
Children unconsciously follow the path set by their parents.
Push the panic button...
Repeat of the chorus, emphasizing the need for urgent action and blaming.
Push the panic button...
Repeat of the chorus, further emphasizing the urgency.
