Underneath - Alanis Morissette

Look at us break our bones, in this kitchen

Look at us rallying all our defenses

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 does 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 does 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 does out there

So why spend all our time undressing our bandages

When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause

right here all underneath
