Lyrics Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette

Underneath

Look at us break our bonds in this kitchen

Look at us rallying all our defenses

Look at us waging war in our bedroom

Look at us jumping ship in our dialogues

There is no difference in what we're doing in here

That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there

So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages

When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath

Look at us our form our cliques in our sandbox

Look at us micro kids with both our hearts blocked

Look at us turn away from all the rough spots

Look at dictatorship on my own block

There is no difference in what we're doing in here

That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there

So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages

When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath

How I've spun my wheels with carts before my horse

When shine on the outside springs from the root

Spotlight on these seeds of simpler reasons

This core, born into form, starts in our living room

There is no difference in what we're doing in here

That doesn't show up as bigger symptoms out there

So why spend all our time in dressing our bandages

When we've the ultimate key to the cause right here, our underneath
