Life In Hate Nation by Joe Iconis Lyrics
[JUDITH]
There may be L-O-V-E outside
But in here, it's nothing but H-A-T-E
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, YA-YA]
Hate nation
Lemme tell ya ‘bout it
Hate nation
From a cell we shout it
Life in hate nation
A sad situation
For girls like us
All right, all right, all right
For girls like us
[JUDITH]
Somebody give me a light
[DOROTHY, spoken]
Susie, I am Dorothy Donaldson
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, YA-YA]
Dorothy Donaldson
[DOROTHY, spoken]
A happy Southern homemaker, through and through
.
[RAT, spoken]
She’s a criminal mimic. They locked her up for doing impersonations of Hoboken businessmen over the phone. I am Brenda Ratowski
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, YA-YA]
Brenda Ratowski
[RAT, spoken]
Nickname, Rat. Brooklyn born and raised, that is until I got nailed for theft
[SUSANNAH, spoken]
What did you steal?
[RAT, spoken]
You writin' a book?
.
[Pipes clink]
[SUSANNAH, spoken]
What was that?
[KITTY, spoken]
The pipes. The building is falling apart. Literally
[RAT]
The ceiling’s crackin’
And it’s full of mold
And it’s quite nerve-wracking
‘Cause the structure’s old
[YA-YA (INMATES)]
When a door close (ha)
It make the whole room shake
[DOROTHY]
And the floor goes
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, YA-YA]
Boom sh-boom
Rattle rattle quake
[KITTY]
And they runnin' out of bread
And the end is near
Most the other girls fled
We're the last ones here
[YA-YA]
Not a great seat
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, YA-YA]
In the joint
But it'll do
[YA-YA]
'Till we eighteen
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, YA-YA]
At which point
It's toodle-loo
[KITTY]
And we out in the world
Its own kind of curse
[DOROTHY]
Where it never gets better
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, YA-YA]
It only gets worse
Gets worse
Hate nation
Let me tell ya ‘bout it
Hate nation
This is hell, don’t doubt it
Life in hate nation
There’s no reparation
For girls like us
All right, all right, all right
For girls like us
[KITTY]
Somebody give me a light
[KITTY, spoken]
Hola, I'm Kitty Minx
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, RAT, YA-YA]
Kitty Minx
[KITTY, spoken]
Yes!
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, RAT, YA-YA]
Her name is Kitty Minx
[KITTY, spoken]
That's my name. When speaking to me you may call me Kitty. When speaking about me you may call me she or her
.

[SUSANNAH, spoken]
Who is she?
[JUDITH, spoken]
Who is she?

Judith Ramone
[DOROTHY, KITTY, RAT, YA-YA]
Judith Ramone
[JUDITH]
Judith Ramone got no patience for the new girls
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, YA-YA]
All the rumors about her are true
[JUDITH]
Judith Ramone got no patience for the new girls
And least of all you
[JUDITH, spoken]
And before you ask, the reason I'm in here is I cut a guy's dick off. So don't try anything. And don't ask about my eye
[YA-YA, spoken]
Judith is my best friend
[JUDITH, spoken]
No I ain't!
[YA-YA]
My name is Gloria Mee...

Gloria Meeks
[YA-YA]
But my nickname is Ya-Ya
[YA-YA, spoken]
I'm an inventor
[SUSANNAH, spoken]
What do you invent?
[YA-YA, spoken]
Things that burn holes. Things that explode. One day I'm going to work on science fiction pictures making special effects. .
[RAT, spoken]
So, Miss Twenty Questions, what are you in for?
[SUSANNAH, spoken]
Me? I-I... burned down my school
[INMATES murmur in admiration]
[YA-YA, spoken]
Your arms are full of burns and stuff
[DOROTHY, spoken]
Maybe you could burn down this place
[SUSANNAH, spoken]
Why don't you just try to escape?
[YA-YA]
Do we want to get out?
[RAT]
Do we want to break free?
[DOROTHY]
Of course!
But what's the point?
[KITTY]
We're locked in a tower
Without any power
[JUDITH]
We wait it out until it's time to
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, YA-YA]
Blow this joint!
Ahh
[DOROTHY]
Hate nation
Don't even try to resist
[RAT]
Hate nation
It'll leave you tired and pissed
[KITTY]
Hate nation
Bad as it is in here inside
[YA-YA]
Hate nation
We stay 'cause our hands are tied
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, YA-YA]
Hate nation
[JUDITH]
No way for us to rebel
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, YA-YA]
Hate nation
[JUDITH]
And so we deal with the hell
[DOROTHY, JUDITH, KITTY, RAT, YA-YA]
Betty Crocker's probably clutching her pearls
