buzzer
Sitting with a number eight platter at the restaurant Four twenty nine for almost anything I want Add it up it's cheaper than the stuff I make myself I get by, I never needed anybody's help And I tore out an ad and they told me that I  Would press the buzzer Would press the buzzer At the graduate lab they were doing some tests I pressed the buzzer Would press the buzzer  Ride a circle off the highway Spiral into the driveway In the maze of all prefabs They'll be waiting at the lab  I don't know how everybody makes it through the daily drill Paint the nails, walk a dog, pay every bill I'm feeling sorry for this guy that I pressed to shock He gets the answers wrong I have to up the watts And he begged me to stop but they told me to go  I pressed the buzzer I pressed the buzzer So get out of my head just give me my line I pressed the buzzer I pressed the buzzer  Ride a circle off the highway Spiral into the driveway In the maze of all prefabs They'll be waiting at the lab  They called me back to the lab to discuss the test I put my earrings on found my heels wore a dress Right away I knew it was like I failed a quiz The man said do you know what a fascist is I said yeah it's when you do things you're not proud of But you're scraping by taking orders from above I get it now I'm the face I'm the cause of war We don't have to blame white coated men anymore When I knew it was wrong I played it just like a game  I pressed the buzzer I pressed the buzzer Here's your seventy bucks now everything's changed I pressed the buzzer I pressed the buzzer But tell me where are your stocks would you do this again I pressed the buzzer And tell me who made your clothes was it children or men I pressed the buzzer  Ride a circle off the highway Spiral into the driveway In the maze of all prefabs They'll be waiting at the lab
