ALANIS MORISSETTE - These Are The Thoughts lyrics

rate me

These are the thoughts that go through my head<br>In my backyard on a sunday afternoon<br>When I have the house to myself and I am not<br>Expending all that energy on fighting with my boyfriend<br><br>Is he the one that I will marry? <br>Why is it so hard to be objective about myself? <br>Why do I feel cellularly alone? <br>Am I supposed to live in this crazy city? <br>Can blindly continued fear-induced regurgitated<br>Life- denying tradition be overcome? <br><br>Where does the money go that I send to those in need? <br>If we have so much why do some people have nothing still? <br>Why do I feel frantic when I first wake up in the morning? <br>Why do you say you are spiritual<br>Yet you treat people like shit? <br><br>How can you say you're close to god<br>And yet you talk behind my back as though I am not<br>A part of you? <br>Why do I say I'm fine<br>When it's obvious I'm not? <br>Why's it so hard to tell you what I want? <br>Why can't you just read my mind? <br><br>Why do I fear that the quieter I am the less you will listen? <br>Why do I care whether you like me or not? <br>Why is it so hard for me to be angry? <br>Why is it such work to stay conscious and so easy to get stuck<br>And not the other way around? <br><br>Will I ever move back to canada? <br>Can I be with a lover with whom I am a student and a master? <br>Why am I encouraged to shut my mouth<br>When it gets too close to home? <br>Why cannot I live in the moment?
