Lyrics Forgiven - Alanis Morissette

Forgiven

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 loverless 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 hallelujah in the choir, oh, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
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, yeah
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
and I will suffer the consequence of this inquisition
and if I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven?
we all had our reasons to be there
and we all had a thing or two to learn
we all needed something to cling to
so we did
and we all had delusions in our head
and we all had our minds made up for us
and we had to believe in something
so we did
so we did
so we did
