Alanis Morissette Sings "Underneath" Live
Alanis Morissette is definitely one of my favorite Canadian artists. She says that the song is inspired by her desire to make people more compassionate and loving in hopes of changing the world (yeah, it sounds cheesy but it’s cool so whatever) rather than focusing on the “symptoms” of global issues.
The lyrics are good and demonstrate that sometimes the wars we create at home and in our own backyards are just are hurtful as the ones we wage with other nations.
Read the lyrics after the jump!
Look at us break our bones in this kitchen
Look at us rallying all our defences
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 big as it turns out there
So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.
Look at us form our cliques in our sandbox
Look at us being cruel 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 big as it turns out there
So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.
How I’ve spun my wheels
With carts before my horse
And shine on the outside springs from gloom
Spotlight on these seeds of simpler reasons
And score bourne into corn, stretching my limit
There is no difference
In what we’re doing in here
That doesn’t show up as big as it turns out there
So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.
