These Are The Thoughts Lyrics - Alanis Morissette

These are the thoughts that go through my head 

in my backyard on a sunday afternoon 

when I have the house to myself and I am not 

expending all that energy on fighting 

with my boyfriend 

Is he the one that I will marry 

and why is it so hard to be objective about 

myself why do I feel cellularly alone 

am I supposed to live in this crazy city 

can blindly continued fear-induced regurtitated life-denying tradition 

be overcome 

Where does the money go that I send 

to those in need, if we have so much why do some people have nothing 

still why do I feel frantic when I first wake up in the morning 

why do you say you are spiritual, yet you treat people like shit 

How can you say you're close to God, and yet you talk behind 

my back as though I'm not a part of you, why do I say "I'm fine" 

when it's obvious I'm not, why's it so hard to tell you what I want 

why can't you just read my mind? 

Why do I fear that the quieter I am 

the less you will listen 

why do I care whether you like me or not 

why's it so hard for me to be angry 

why is it such work to stay conscious and so easy to get stuck 

and not the other way around
