Liz Phair (born Elizabeth Clark Phair on April 17, 1967 in New Haven, Connecticut) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. Phair's entry into the music industry began when she met guitarist Chris Brokaw, a member of the band Come. Brokaw was visiting her San Francisco loft-mate Nora Maccoby when he heard Phair's songs, and encouraged her to record them. After moving back to Chicago, Phair began writing songs and recording homemade tapes under the name Girly Sound, and supported herself by selling her drawings on the streets of Chicago. She soon became apart of the alternative music scene in Chicago and became friends with Material Issue and Urge Overkill, two of Chicago's upstart bands to go national in the early 1990s, as well as Brad Wood and John Henderson, head of Feel Good All Over, an independent label in Chicago.

Can’t Get Out Of What I’m Into Lyrics

Liz Phair

The things they say are getting harder to take
But I cant get out of what Im into
And the jokes they tell are meant to wish me well
But I cant get out of what Im into
cause its a steady job
And its the only thing that makes me money
And it gives me something to laugh about
cause my real life aint fucking funny
cause my real life aint fucking funny
The looks they give are starting to make me sick
But I cant get out of what Im into
And the lines they try might as well be from a guy
But I cant get out of what Im into
cause its a steady job
And its the only thing that makes me money
And it gives me something to cry about
cause my real life aint fucking funny
cause my real life aint fucking funny
Ooooh lord, why have you forsaken me?
Ooooh lord, why have you forsaken me?
The things I have to do would make a slut blush blue
But I cant get out of what Im into
I figure two more years, then Ill go back to queers
But I cant get out of what Im into
cause its a steady job
And its the only thing that makes me money
And it gives me something to laugh about
cause my real life aint fucking funny
Ooooh lord, why have you forsaken me?
Ooooh lord, why have you forsaken me?
Ooooh lord, ooooh lord
Ooooh lord, why have you forsaken me?
