Forgiven

Alanis Morissette · Original Album Series [2012]

You know how us Catholic girls can be

We make up for so much time a little too late

I never forgot it, confusing as it was

No fun with no guilt feelings

The sinners, the saviours, the lover-less priests

I'll see you next Sunday



We all had our reasons to be there

We all had a thing or two to learn

We all needed something to cling to

So we did



I sang Alleluia in the choir

(Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia)

I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man

My brothers, they never went blind for what they did

But I may as well have

In the name of the Father, the Skeptic, and the Son

I had one more stupid question



We all had our reasons to be there

We all had a thing or two to learn

We all needed something to cling to

So we did



What I learned, I rejected, but I believe again

I will suffer the consequences of this inquisition

If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven?



We all had our reasons to be there

We all had a thing or two to learn

We all needed something to cling to

So we did



We all had delusions in our head

We all had our minds made up for us

We had to believe in something

So we did
