Reckoning - Alanis Morissette

Hey, hey, little wanderer

You walked the fields with all the fences down

You never knew the scent of the predator

You didn’t know the house was on fire

And so you walked, as you should

While they preyed on all you ached for

And they pounced, as they would

While the guards were away

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Hey, hey, you murderers

You got away while they claim I am a liar

Why aren’t the gods and heroes all around me?

And everyone’s turning their eyes to the ground

And so, you strike, while it’s hot

While the barricades are broken

You attacked, at your will

While all the locks are frayed

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Hey, hey, you denier

Finally everyone is gathering 'round me

Now that we all know better, you’ll be haunted

I hope you enjoy these drawings in your jail

And so, oh woah, oh woah

Brace, brace yourself

For this reckoning day

I was once, at a loss

Now I stand at the gate

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-woah, ooh-woah

Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-woah, ooh-woah

Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-woah, ooh-woah
