Story behind the song
Pushin Buttons c 2009 Jerry Stevens Always I must be careful what I’m wishin for When I’m hungry I like to know just what I’m fishin for I ain’t askin for much ain’t tryin to be no glutton I’m just here makin my livin pushin buttons I get my message out to anyone in shouting distance I vote for bravery and against slavery showin resistance First I’m crawlin then I’m walkin then I start struttin I’m just so glad to make my livin pushin buttons We sat down to play monopoly we all wanted to win the game We gave some guy endless money supply we musta not been thinkin with brains After some time the worth of my dime got beat down to damn near nothin I mighta been doin alright but still I make my livin pushin buttons There’s a man over there with ammunition lookin for a brand new chance To profit from my fear we’re gonna show him a brand new dance 267 stories they blew up into almost nothin I’m in pain in the rain it makes me make my livin pushin buttons I’m pushin on the envelope I give em all plenty of rope I can see a whole heap o slack I ain’t gonna be cuttin As I take my place happy to make my livin pushin buttons
Lyrics
Stumblin Block c2015 Jerry Stevens, Deborah Stevens, Patterson Martin Cause of the stumblin block All the people fumble a lot People gonna humble a lot Because of the stumblin block Its the stumblin block Thunder been rumblin a lot Upon the Fathers door they will knock Cause of the stumblin block The chief cornerstone Inside of the flesh and bone The real real rock The stumblin block Been walkin, walkin, through the valley of the shadow My cup running over as I send my arrow Love is my spirit and the truth will be my lasso My lion heart will humble before the gentle sparrow The chief cornerstone Inside of the flesh and bone Its the real real rock The stumblin block Lord its the stumblin block Yes, youre the stumblin block
