One Lyrics

Lyrics by Alanis Morissette; music by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard 

I am the biggest hypocrite 
I've been undeniably jealous 
I have been loud and pretentious 
I have been utterly threatened 
I've gotten candy for my self-interest 
the sexy treadmill capitalist 
heaven forbid i be criticized 
heaven forbid i be ignored 

i have abused my power forgive me 
you mean we actually are all one 
one one one one one one one 
i've been out of reach and separatist 
heaven forbid average (whatever average means) 
i have been compensated for my days 
of powerlessness 

i have abused my so-called power forgive me 
you mean we actually are all one 
one one one one one one one 

did you just call her amazing? 
surely we both can't be amazing! 
and give up my hard earned status 
as fabulous freak of nature? 

I have abused my power forgive me 
you mean we actually are all one 
one one one one one one one 
always looked good on paper 
sounded good in theory
