UR - Alanis Morissette

Burn the books

They’ve got too many names and psychosis

All this incriminating evidence would surely haunt me

If someone broke into my house

Suits in the living room

Do you realize guys I was born in 1974?

We’ve got someone here to explain your publishing

We know how much you love to be in front of audiences

Hopeful you are

Schoolbound you are

Naive you are

Driven you are

Take a trip to New York with your guardian

And your fake identification

When they said, «Is there something anything

You’d like to know young lady?»

You said, «Yes, I’d like to know what kind of people

I’ll be dealing with»

Precocious you are

Headstrong you are

Terrified you are

Ahead of your time you are

Don’t mind our staring

But we’re surprised you’re not in a far-gone asylum

We’re surprised you didn’t crack up

Lord knows that we would’ve

We would’ve liked to have been there

But you keep pushing us away

Resilient you are

Big time you are

Ruthless you are

Precious you are

La-da-da-da

La-la-la-la

La-la
