Liz Phair - Fire Up The Batmobile video free download

Fire up the Batmobile

'Cause I gotta get out of here

I don't speak the language

And you gave me no real choice,

You gave me no real choice

You made me see that my behavior

Was an opinion

So fire up the Batmobile

'Cause I gotta get out of here

It's the mouth of the gift horse, I know

But I gave it my best shot,

I gave it my best shot

I gave you the performance

Of a lifetime

So I hope you all will see

There just isn't a place here for me

I look around and feel

Like somebody must be fucking with me

I just can't take any of you seriously

And I can't keep keeping myself company

Fire up the Batmobile

'Cause I gotta get out of here

Big shoulders block the view

You can't get your money back,

You can't get your money back

You can't pretend that isolation

Is the same as privilege

So I hope you all will see

There just isn't a place here for me

I look around and feel

Like somebody must be fucking with me

I just can't take any of you seriously

And I can't keep keeping myself company.

A beautiful and deeply cynical song by Liz Phair, from the Girly Sound tapes made in late 1992. After moving back to Chicago, Phair began writing songs and recording homemade tapes under the name Girly Sound and supported herself by selling her charcoal drawings on the streets of Wicker Park.
