Lyrics
Hidden in your house is a button
For use in an emergency
You’ll find it at the back of a cupboard
Or behind the washing machine
You’ll know it when you see it it’s the one that says
‘Everything goes back to normal’
When it’s all going wrong around you
And you’re not liking what you see
Push the button
Push the button
Push the button
And it all goes back
Push the button
Push the button
And then everything goes back to normal
When you get it wrong it’s a disaster
So don’t touch it ’til you’re 18
There is no instruction manual
So you’d better listen to me
The first thing you do is ask someone politely
“Please could things go back to normal?”
But if that doesn’t work don’t panic
Cos there’s something you can do
Push the button
Push the button
Push the button
And it all goes back
Push the button
Push the button
Push the button
And it all goes back
Push the button and it
Push the button and it
Push the button
And it all goes back
Push the button
And then everything goes back to normal
Lately I’ve had a real hard time
And this button’s all I’ve had
Then I found out one morning
That mine wasn’t even plugged in
I guess I don’t need no button cos
Every day’s a different normal
I know that the world keeps changing
But hey I’m allowed to dream
Push the button
Push the button
Push the button
And it all goes back
Push the button
Push the button
Push the button
And it all goes back
Push the button
Push the button
Push the button
And it all goes back
Push the button and it
Push the button and
There is no button and you can’t go back
