lyrics

I wouldn't have volunteered
If I knew that I would end up here
In an electric chair
Your hand on the button
And there's a scientist
Who has the answer list
Answer wrong and
I WILL GET A SHOCK!

I get an answer wrong
He says "You must go on"
Three hundred volts arcing across the air and
My chest it palpitates
The voltage aggravates my heart condition and
I'M BEGGING YOU TO STOP!

Up the shock value
Watch while you're causing me pain
I'll be fine after time
But will you be the same
Once you know how far a stranger can make you go?

For me there's no escape
But you could always walk away
Turn to the man and say "I won't take your orders"
You think they're testing me
But they are testing you
They're trying to find exactly
WHAT A MAN WILL DO!

Up the shock value
Watch while you're causing me pain
I'll be fine after time
But will you be the same
Once you know how far a stranger can make you go?

Look, I know we're not supposed to talk
But I'd really prefer you not give me a shock
Look, I know we're not supposed to talk
But I'd really prefer you not...
NOT TO FIFTY!
