about

Betty is struggling and lost in a broken down world that was not of her making. Will it grind her into stone ash, or will she figure a way out?

lyrics

Raised in a broken-down trailer park
Hair dyed blue
A teenage white trash Joan of Arc
Punk rock ingenue
Reading vintage pulp fiction paperbacks
Abandon discarded
Unless they want her innocence
Her virtue, unguarded

Betty Baby
No longer a girl, not quite a lady
You’re so crazy
Making love in the backseat of a broken dream

Boss is a letch, a real mean prick
Step-dads’ no better
Mom can’t be bothered, real dad’s long gone
What’s one more suicide letter

Betty Baby
No longer a girl, not quite a lady
You’re so crazy
Making love in the backseat of a broken dream

You gotta get out of this tread worn town
No bliss, no passion
All you have to offer is a broken smile
Love’s not something you ration
Living in this angry, loathsome mean town
Will mean your end
There just’s gotta be a better way
Still… no godsend

A desperate man, intent on ill will
Betty, his object desire
He grabbed Betty, by the throat
Exhausted and tired
Betty jammed a penknife, straight up to his neck
But didn’t attack
Instead she bought a one way ticket on bus
And climbed in the back, now she’s singing

La da-da da-da-da daaa
Betty Baby, oh Betty Baby
La da-da da-da-da daaa
Betty Baby, oh Betty Baby
(repeat)
She’s singing…
