Forgiven Lyrics

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

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 saviors, the loverless priests 
I'll see you next Sunday 

Chorus: 
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 Alleluia in the choir 
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 

Repeat Chorus 

What I learned I rejected but I believe again 
I will suffer the consequence of this inquisition 
If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven 

Repeat Chorus 

We all had delusions in our head 
We all had our minds made up for us 
We had to believe in something 
So we did
