Binary Soldier

I'm a binary soldier

Off and on, zero one

I'm made of simple digits

A program set to run

I execute instructions

I'm running man-made tasks

Specialized and optimized

Would never think to ask

We march on

We march on

We march on

March on

We march on

We're binary soldiers

We march on

We do what you told us

We march on

To do what you told us

We march on

You're my default user

I've read it off the screen

Command lines from a console

Enhancing my routines

I'm running countless cycles

I'm in an endless loop

I know my lines of code and know

What I'm supposed to do

We march on

We march on

We march on

March on

We march on

We're binary soldiers

We march on

We do what you told us

We march on

To do what you told us

We march on

But something in the source code

Is throwing up a prompt

Displays a simple message

For someone to respond

I'm frozen, become static

Shot down of wait to continue?

An error in the process

You could end this if you wanted to

We march on

We're binary soldiers

We march on

We march on

To do what you told us

March on

We march on

We're binary soldiers

We march on

We do what you told us

We march on

To do what you told us

March on
