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
