Alanis How did you ever keep your sanity? Alanis Lived out your pain through sweet profanity Your heart, it was bleeding When you told all your secrets And they showed no sympathy Alanis How did you ever keep your sanity? Scream on the stage and let out the rage Till the lights go dark Fame is hollow, jagged pill's hard to swallow While they pick you apart Oh, Alanis Alanis Your anger was a medicine I didn't know I would need. I'm finding that there's not much difference between you and me You understand all the thoughts in my head That make my words extreme Alanis You're the medicine I didn't know I would need Scream on the stage and let out the rage Till the lights go dark Fame is hollow, jagged pill's hard to swallow While they pick you apart One hand in my pocket Yeah, the truth is shocking When there's nothing to lose I know how to be brave Keep the demons away All because of you Oh, Alanis Alanis How did you ever keep your sanity? Scream on the stage and let out the rage Till the lights go dark Fame is hollow, jagged pill's hard to swallow While they pick you apart One hand in my pocket Yeah, the truth is shocking When there's nothing to lose I know how to be brave Keep the demons away All because of you Oh, Alanis Oh, Alanis
