So-Called Chaos

Alanis Morissette · Original Album Series [2012]

Deadlines and meetings and contracts all breached

D-days and structure, responsibility

Have to's and need to's, and get to's by three

Eleventh hours and upset employees.



I wanna be naked, running through the streets

I wanna invite this so-called chaos that you think I dare not be

I wanna be weightless, flying through the air

I wanna drop all these limitations, but the shoes upon my feet ???



Heartburn and headaches and soon-to-be ulcers

Compulsive yearnings, non-stop to please others.



I wanna be naked, running through the streets

I wanna invite this so-called chaos that you think I dare not be

I wanna be weightless, flying through the air

I wanna drop all these limitations but the shoes upon my feet ???



All won't be lost if I'm governed by my own innate-ness

The stoplights won't work; I'll get home sound and safe regardless

'N' won't be mayhem if I'm ruled by my own rule-lessness

My fire won't quell and I'll be harm-free and distress-less

Trust me.



Line-towing and helping, expectations up to living

Inside-box, obeying, inside-line coloring.



I wanna be naked, running through the streets

I wanna invite this so-called chaos that you think I dare not be

I wanna be weightless, flying through the air

I wanna drop all my limitations but the shoes upon my feet -



I wanna be naked, running through the streets

I wanna invite this so-called chaos that you think I dare not be

I wanna be weightless flying through the air

I wanna drop all these limitations and return to what I was born to be.
