Batmobile (Girly-Sound Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

This song was originally featured on the third Girly-Sound tape “Sooty”. It was officially released on the 1995 Juvenilia Ep.

Liz has said about the song,

“My family nickname is Bats, Batty, etc… don’t ask. A combination of an old Dentyne commercial (“Hellooooo Betty!”) and the obvious. Anyway, most of this Girlysound music was written while I was still in high school or early college, and getting out from under the influence of my parents seemed like a do or damned proposition.”
