About LOVE IN HATE NATION: A turbulent rock romance by Joe Iconis, composer and lyricist of the worldwide sensation Be More Chill! Set in a 1960s Juvie Hall, Love in Hate Nation tells the story of young people caught between eras of a changing America. Sixteen-year old Susannah Son is carted off to the National Reformatory for Girls to get her head put on straight. There she meets the aggressively incorrigible Sheila Nail, and a relationship forms which leads to an all-out “revolution in the institution” as they attempt to break out of the boxes society has created around them. Girl Group Wall of Sound harmonies are filtered through a punk rock spirit in this rebellious and romantic new musical.

Lyrics:
THE CAT DON’T CHOOSE TO PURR
THE LIGHT DON’T CHOOSE TO BUZZ
WEATHER DON’T CHOOSE TO OCCUR
IT JUST DOES
ELECTRO SHOCKS DON’T ELECT TO STING
MEDICATION DON’T SELECT TO FIZZ
BUTTERFLY DON’T TRY TO BE A BEAUTIFUL THING
SHE JUST IS
AND HEY HEY THE WAY THAT I FEEL
THEY TRY TO SAY THAT IT ISN’T REAL
BUT I DON’T CHOOSE WHO I AM
I JUST EXIST
CUZ I MAY BE A QUEER, BUT
HEY, BABY, I AIN’T NO MASOCHIST
THE FIRE GOTTA MAKE SOME SMOKE
REBEL GOTTA RAISE HER VOICE
THE SYSTEM DOESN’T HAVE TO BE BROKE
BECAUSE UNLIKE US THE SYSTEM HAS A CHOICE
AND HEY HEY THE WAY THAT WE ARE
THEY TRY TO SAY THAT IT’S SO BIZARRE
THEY TELL ME HOW TO BE
I FIGHT BACK, I PERSIST
CUZ I MAY BE A BITCH BUT
HEY, BABY, I AIN’T NO MASOCHIST
UH UH
HEY, BABY, I AIN’T NO MASOCHIST
UH UH
HEY, BABY
THE WORLD CAN CLAIM IT’S ALL LIES
BUT AIN’T NOBODY GONNA TELL ME OTHERWISE
I JUST WANNA TRANSCEND
I WON’T STOP UNTIL
THEY CAN ALL COMPREHEND
THAT I AM NOT ILL
I ALREADY KNOW THAT I’M WHOLE
NOT SOMETHING IN BETWEEN
NOW, THE NUMBER ONE GOAL
IS I JUST WANNA BE
I JUST WANNA BE
I JUST WANNA BE SEEN
AND HEY HEY THE WAY THAT I FEEL
OO-OO
DONT TRY TO SAY THAT IT ISN’T REAL
OO-OO
CUZ WITH THE TERROR THAT I FEEL
EVERY DAY
TELL ME WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND
WOULD CHOOSE TO FEEL THIS WAY
LET THEM SHACKLE ME DOWN
I WILL ALWAYS RESIST
I REFUSE TO BE ETERNALLY
DEGRADED AND DISMISSED
I LOVE WHO I AM
I DEMAND TO EXIST
AND I WILL NOT PLAY THE VICTIM TODAY CAUSE
HEY, BABY, I AIN’T NO MASOCHIST
UH UH HEY, BABY, I AIN’T NO MASOCHIST
UH UH HEY, BABY, I AIN’T NO MASOCHIST
UH UH HEY, BABY, I AIN’T NO MASOCHIST
UH UH HEY, BABY
YOU CAN CLAIM IT’S ALL LIES
ONE DAY EVERYBODY GONNA RECOGNIZE
I’M NOT WEARING ANY PHONY FAKE DISGUISE
MY EXISTENCE SHOULDN’T BE A COMPROMISE
AIN’T NOBODY GONNA TELL ME OTHERWISE")

“We Are Not Strangers” from Runaways (1978)
Music and lyrics by Elizabeth Swados
Performed by Heather Christian
Listen to The Liz Swados Project: https://ghostlightrecords.lnk.to/lizswadosprojectLY
“The Liz Swados Project” is Swados’s legacy album - songs from 10 of her works for the stage sung by some of the most influential performers and composers in theater today. In the words of the late Michael Friedman, who studied under Swados, “Liz is in the DNA of my work.” You can hear her influence in the work of Shaina Taub, Grace McLean, Taylor Mac, Dave Malloy and the Bengsons, all of whom will pay tribute to her in their recordings of her songs. Works featured will range from her Broadway hit Runaways (1978), about the lives of children who run away from home and live on the city streets, to her little-known masterpiece The Beautiful Lady (1984), a deeply felt meditation on the triumph and catastrophe of the Russian avant-garde. Also featured on recordings will be some of the most exciting musical theater performers of today: Amber Gray, Stephanie Hsu, Damon Daunno, Starr Busby, Jo Lampert and Sophia Ann Caruso, among others.
A visionary artist, Swados was ahead of her time. This album gives her the credit she rightly deserves: as a composer, a lyricist, a teacher, a trailblazer. The change that she led is now coming into its own.
