Nemesis Songtext

von Alanis Morissette

I am the biggest hypocrite
Been undeniably jealous
I have been loud and pretentious
I have been utterly threatened
I've gotten candy for my self-interest
The sexy treadmill capitalist
Heaven forbid I be criticized
Heaven forbid I be ignored
I have abused my power, forgive me
You mean we actually are all

One, one, one, one
One, one, one, one

I've been out of reach and separatist
Heaven forbid average, whatever average means
I have been compensated for my
Days of powerlessness

I have abused my so-called power forgive me
You mean we actually are all one
One, one, one, one
One, one, one, one

Did you just call her amazing?
Surely we both can't be amazing
And give up my hard earned status
As fabulous freak of nature?

I have abused my power forgive me
You mean we actually are all one

One, one, one, one
One, one, one, one

Always looked good on paper
Sounded good in theory
