Alanis Morissette Lyrics
"Pray For Peace"

I prayed for peace
They require me to kick into high gear
We may as well have had our Ph.D's
My quick impulse 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 strategic way to hide the hole in the wall

Thank God it was the Goddamned wall
We were the feminine forces
Who would calm my mother down?
Who would calm me down once I talked her through it?

My mother and I were the official peacemakers
It was a full-time job
I would send my mother directly to bed
Do not collect 200
We'd talk about it 'til 5am when I'd visit five years later

We would pray for peace.
It was perfectly familiar and comfortable
