Eight easy steps lyrics
by Alanis Morissette
How to stay paralyzed
By fear of abandonment
How to defer to men
In solveable predicaments
How to control someone
To be a carbon copy of you
How to have that not work
And have them run away from you
How to keep people at arm's length
And never get too close
How to mistrust the ones
You supposedly love the most
How to pretend you're fine
And don't need help from anyone
How to feel worthless unless
You're serving or helping someone
[CHORUS]
I'll teach you all this
In eight easy steps
A course of a lifetime
You'll never forget
I'll show you how to
In eight easy steps
I'll show you how leadership looks
When taught by the best
How to hate women when
You're supposed to be a feminist
How to play all pious
When you're really a hypocrite
How to hate God when you're
A prayer and a spiritualist
How to sabotage your fantasies
By fears of success
[repeat CHORUS]
I've been doing research for years
I've been practicing my ass off
I've been training my whole life
For this moment, I swear to you
Culminating just to be this
Well-versed leader before you
[repeat CHORUS]
How to lie to yourself
And thereby to everyone else
How to keep smiling when
You're thinking of killing yourself
How to numb alaholic
To avoid going within
How to stay stuck in blue
By blaming them for everything
[repeat CHORUS 2x]
