Alanis Morissette Straitjacket Lyrics

Straitjacket Lyrics

Something so benign from me

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 askewed 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 askewed 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 dis-crediting'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 askewed interpret?

I swear you won't be happy 'til

I am bound in a straitjacket
