One Button Too Many
Putin's finger lingers over the device
That activates the bomb
Against the best advice
He teases with aplomb
Shall I, shan't I
Oh, this is kind of fun
Power Hungry Putin
What have you done?
You are inhuman, a monster, not a man.
Those astute Ukrainians
They threw a spanner in your evil plans.
Who would have thought
An insurrection would last so long.
Has this taught you,
That your plans have all gone wrong.
Can't you see the destruction?
And the carnage you have caused.
Don't you think it's time you started to live by the rules?
Are you losing confidence and afraid of losing power?
In the distance, can you hear the sound of victory?
From the Ukrainians, as they get closer by the hour?
Stop the blackmail and the constant lies
If you press the nuclear button
Everybody dies!
