Текст песни Don't Push Send - Carrie Newcomer

Don't Push Send

This is a story, a very sad tale
Of intrigue, romance and electronic mail
A dangerous form of information
And the perils of instant gratification
How many times did I hit my Mac
Want to crawl inside and take the whole thing back
But it’s no use say it again and again
Don’t push send
Carol wrote about the job’s frustrations
What drove her crazy with aggravation
A list of every person’s faults
With precise and pithy, wry insults
She sent it off to her best friend
But saw with horror as she pushed send
She hit the keys and began to roar
she’d copied the entire office floor
So don’t push send
Dont push send
There things that you can never quite amend
I tell myself again and again
Don’t push send
Katherine wrote a note to her husband Ben
Using their pet names and vowing devotion
She said meet me at home in a little while
I’ll be there waiting, wearing nothing but a smile
But she got her answer from his great granddad Lee saying
«I don’t think that this was meant for me
It was nice, but I think it was for my grandson, it’s been
years since anybody called me sugar buns
Don’t push send
Dont push send
There things that you can never quite amend
I tell myself again and again
Don’t push send
The day was tough, the week had really been something
Jane got a letter that pushed her buttons
She shot back as if her words were guns
Capitalizing every single one
Well she should have waited, she should know
E-mail doesn’t mix with merlot
She had to write back as you could guess
Plead e-mail recklessness and PMS
Well don’t push send
Dont push send
There things that you can never quite amend
I tell myself again and again
Don’t push send
Just stop and think when I’m on the brink
Walk away from my computer
Cause you can guess how we’ll regret
And feel like such a loser
After opposing counsel had acted like jerks
Joe got a letter from his partner at work
He meant to make changes, cut and paste
But sent it off in his efficient haste
Well he tried to delete, he tried to get back the note
But the letter had flown and that was all she wrote
The message was polite with professional class
But the subject line still said «what an ass»
Well don’t push send
Dont push send
There things that you can never quite amend
I tell myself again and again
Don’t push send
Don’t push send
Don’t push send
