Lyrics by Alanis Morissette; music by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard



I am the biggest hypocrite

I've been undeniably jealous

I have been loud and pretentious

I have been utterly threatened

I've gotten candy for my self-interest

the sexy treadmill capitalist

heaven forbid i be criticized

heaven forbid i be ignored



i have abused my power forgive me

you mean we actually are all one

one one one one one one one

i've been out of reach and separatist

heaven forbid average (whatever average means)

i have been compensated for my days

of powerlessness



i have abused my so-called power forgive me

you mean we actually are all one

one one one one one one one



did you just call her amazing?

surely we both can't be amazing!

and give up my hard earned status

as fabulous freak of nature?



I have abused my power forgive me

you mean we actually are all one

one one one one one one one

always looked good on paper

sounded good in theory
