Buzzbomb Lyrics

[Intro]
Vroom, vroom, vroom!

[Verse 1]
Buzzbomb, buzzbomb
Macho-mobile
The road's my slave
That's how I feel
I cruise alone
I cruise real far
I don't love you
I love my car

[Refrain]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
'Cross Nevada at 110
Highway 50
And there's nobody there
Sign says, "Next sign: 30 miles"

[Chorus]
I work all week, each penny saved
Buys more escape from home
I'd rather cruise around all day
Than save up for a move
Plow through rest area San-O-Lets
"Splat!" goes the lonely salesman
Wanking in the men's room
[Verse 3]
Buzzbomb, buzzbomb
Tape up loud
Blue piss clinging to my windshield
Faster, faster in my car

[Chorus]
Buzzbomb is my pride and joy
King of the trailer court
Waiting for the perfect chick
Who'll love me for my car
I tell her why I'm cool
She coos back just what I like
When I pretend she's near

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Zip through Ely
Where Pat Nixon was born
The cops 'round here sure looking bored
Flashing sirens, state patrol

[Chorus]
They're scratching up my gorgeous paint job
Shooting out my tires
Ain't no way to go to heaven
Buzzbomb cornered at the 7-Eleven
[Outro]
Aw, ooh
