Alanis Morissette — Pray For Peace

I pray for peace They require me to kick into high gear We may as well have our PHD's Might we compose Was never taken into account I pray they let out or talk it out She would give me a wink across the room I would've made a really good lawyer I had a really good strategy For putting things back on the wall Thank God it was the goddamned wall I would have to hide all my valuables Who would calm my mother down? Who would calm me down once I talked her through it?
