There's a button I won't reach labled reset-
can't do nothing over; I can't change a thing-
When you see I'm the same you can't be upset.
Destiny's different from blissful neglect-
don't undermind smart phones when your's won't ring-
There's a button I won't reach labeled reset.
Countin' every fish before you cast your net;
Heaven's packed to the gates: no room for new wings.
When you see I'm the same you can't be upset.
Putting old limits to a new set of tests.
Producing a corpse and calling it King;
There's a button I won't reach labeled reset.
Forsaking the train and cursing the jet,
Refusing the New Age for what it might bring.
When you see I'm the same you can't be upset.
Can't dance in the rain without getting wet-
you're friends with the bees but afraid of their sting-
there's a button I won't reach labeled reset;
when you see I'm the same you can't be upset.
