Alanis Morissette
Unprodigal Daughter
[FRANKIE]
I had disengaged to avoid being totaled
I would run away and say good riddance soon enough
I had grown disgusted by your small-minded ceiling
To imagine myself bolting had not been difficult
Soon be my life
Soon be my pace
Soon be my choice of which you'll have no part of
Unprodigal daughter heading out onto my quest
Disenchanted daughter and this train cannot move fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last!
I'd invite you but I'm busy being unoppressed
[FRANKIE AND Chorus]
One day I'll saddle back and speak of foreign adventures
One day I'll double back and tell you about these unfettered years
One day I'll look back and feel something other than relieved
Glad that I left when I did, I know you
You can't get the best of me
[FRANKIE]
When I'd speak of artistry you would roll your eyes skyward
When I'd speak of spirituality you would label me absurd
When I spoke of possibility you would frown and shake your head
If I had stayed much longer I'd have surely imploded
These are my words
This is my house
These are my friends of which you've had no part of
Unprodigal daughter heading out onto my quest
Disenchanted daughter and this train cannot move fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last!
[FRANKIE AND Chorus]
I'd invite you but I'm busy being unoppressed
Being unoppressed
Being unoppressed
Being unoppressed
