Lyrics Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette

Straitjacket

Something so benign

For construed as cruelty

Such a difference between

Who I am and who you see

Conclusions you come to of me

Routinely incorrect

I don't know who you're talking to

With such fucking disrespect

This shit's making me crazy

The way you nullify what's in my head

You say one thing do another

And argue that's not what you did

Your way's making me mental

How you filter as skewed interpret

I swear you won't be happy til

I am bound in a straitjacket

Talking with you's like talking

To a sieve that can't hear me

You fight me tooth and nail

To disavow what's happening

Your resistance to a mirror

I feel screaming from your body

One day I'll introduce myself

And you'll see you've not yet met me

This shit's making me crazy

The way you nullify what's in my head

You say one thing do another

And argue that's not what you did

Your way's making me mental

How you filter as skewed interpret

I swear you won't be happy til

I am bound in a straitjacket

Grand dissonance

The strings of my puppet are cut

The end of an era

Your discrediting's lost my consent

This shit's making me crazy

The way you nullify what's in my head

You say one thing do another

And argue that's not what you did

Your way's making me mental

How you filter as skewed interpret

I swear you won't be happy til

I am bound in a straitjacket
