[00:04.00]
[00:05.57] Sitting with the number eight platter at the restaurant,
[00:09.50] Four twenty-nine for almost anything I want,
[00:12.60] Add it up, it's cheaper than the stuff I make myself,
[00:15.29] I get by, I never needed anybody's help,
[00:18.88] And I tore out an ad and they told me that I
[00:22.24] Would press the buzzer, press the buzzer,
[00:24.76] At the graduate lab, they were doing some tests,
[00:28.08] I pressed the buzzer, pressed the buzzer.
[00:30.79]
[00:31.58] Ride the circle off of the highway.
[00:35.55] Spiral into the driveway,
[00:38.20] In the maze of old prefabs
[00:41.12] They'll be waiting at the lab.
[00:48.83]
[00:49.70] I don't know how everybody makes it through the daily drill,
[00:53.01] Paint the nails, walk a dog, pay every bill,
[00:56.36] I'm feeling sorry for this guy that I press to shock,
[00:59.29] He gets the answers wrong, I have to up the watts
[01:02.38] And he begged me to stop, but they told me to go,
[01:05.77] I press the buzzer, I press the buzzer.
[01:08.42] So get out of my head, just give me my line.
[01:12.02] I press the buzzer, I press the buzzer.
[01:14.40]
[01:15.16] Ride the circle off of the highway,
[01:19.40] Spiral into the driveway,
[01:22.18] In the maze of old prefabs
[01:25.20] They'll be waiting at the lab.
[01:33.89]
[01:36.50] They called me back to the lab to discuss the test,
[01:40.21] I put my earrings on, found my heels, wore a dress.
[01:43.23] Right away I knew, it was like I'd failed a quiz
[01:46.31] The man said "Do you know what a fascist is?"
[01:49.35] I said, "Yeah, it's when you do things you're not proud of,
[01:52.40] But you're scraping by, taking orders from above."
[01:55.55] I get it now, I'm the face, I'm the cause of war
[01:58.59] We don't have to blame white-coated men anymore.
[02:01.00]
[02:01.70] When I knew it was wrong, I played it just like a game,
[02:04.96] I pressed the buzzer, I pressed the buzzer,
[02:07.94] Here's your seventy bucks, now everything's changed,
[02:10.96] I press the buzzer, I press the buzzer
[02:13.60] But tell me where are your stocks, would you do this again?
[02:17.25] I press the buzzer,
[02:19.81] And tell me who made your clothes, was it children or men?
[02:23.50] I press the buzzer.
[02:25.06]
[02:25.94] Ride the circle off of the highway,
[02:30.59] Spiral into the driveway,
[02:33.58] In the maze of old prefabs
[02:36.52] They'll be waiting at the lab.
[02:46.44]
