Buzzer Lyrics

Dar Williams Buzzer Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: Am
Sitting with the 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, I pressed the buzzer__
CHORUS:
Ride the circle off of the highway
Spiral into the driveway
In the maze of old prefabs
They'll be waiting at the la-a-e-ab
I don't know how everybody makes it through the daily drill
Paint the nails, walk the dog, pay every bill
I'm feeling sorry for this guy that I press 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__
CHORUS:
Ride the circle off of the highway
Spiral into the driveway
In the maze of old prefabs
They'll be waiting at the la-a-e-ab
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'd 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 scr*ping 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
** Key Change - Up 2 Semitones **
But tell me where are your stocks, would you do this again?
I press the buzzer
And tell me who made your clothes, was it children or men?
I press the buzzer
CHORUS:
Ride the circle off of the highway
Spiral into the driveway
In the maze of old prefabs
They'll be waiting at the la-a-e-ab
