Biography

Heavens to Betsy was an American punk band formed in Olympia, Washington in 1991 with vocalist and guitarist Corin Tucker and drummer Tracy Sawyer. The duo were part of the DIY riot grrrl, punk rock underground, and were Tucker's first band before she co-formed Sleater-Kinney. Both The New York Times and Rolling Stone included Heavens to Betsy in essential riot grrrl lists. In 2018, a music writer noted, "This band's primal punk sound and powerful expressions of young female rage and desire retains the power to startle decades after their creation."

LYRICS

here we go axemen here we go
at the pep rally i stole the show
wearing our purple and our whites
hey look around there's so much white
do you wanna live this teenage dream
the punk white privilege scene
oh quarterback i'll steal your axe
and cut it out of here

i'm out of my head
i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my life tonight
i'm going out there and i'm going fast and going hard
i'm going crazy do you wanna watch
do you wanna come
i'm out of my head
i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my life tonight

i asked my teacher
i said teacher tell me what to do
or do you believe those white lies
you're supposed to teach in school
she said don't believe everything you read
that's written down
she said don't believe
and i will burn the school down

i'm out of my head
i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my life tonight
i'm going out there and i'm going fast and going hard
i'm going crazy do you wanna watch
do you wanna come
i'm out of my head
i'm out of my mind
i'm out of my life tonight

cut off the part of me
the privilege inside of me
cutt of the part the privilege
but that's too easy this is work i have to do
high school it's in me high school
