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
