I think lyrics of a good song might very well differ a bit from reality to 
make people think about the song. "Press execute" is a good example. I think 
it expresses more than  "press enter" would express. "Press execute" makes me 
think of the consequences involved with pressing this button. There may be 
bad/good things as a result - on the screen and indirectly also for the person 
in front of the computer. 
"Press enter" would not have inspired me at all, just a button on my keyboard.
