Lyrics Alanis Morissette – Rest

All these relief-givers
The needle sure revs in the red
Chemicals like drugs
They feel like they come from my best friend

And God rest, God rest our souls
And this substance is the only comfort I know
He’s been hurting for a while
Can we cut this man some slack
And let him lie down, let him lie down

We are a country desperate for the embryonic
I’m cold and I’m hungry
And I yearn for a hand on my forehead
You think it’s a walk in the park and it’s easy
«She’s got it as good as it gets»
This misunderstanding’s a line between living
And being a walking dead

And God rest, please rest our souls
And the more I take the less comfort I know
She’s been pushing for a while
Can we cut this woman slack
And let her lie down, let her lie down
The more that you hurl at me
The more I will curl up in my bed

Where’s the humanity?
Aren’t we all hovering around the same end?
Door number 1, 2 and 3 have been promises

And God rest, God please rest our souls
This is the surest exit I have known
We’ve been hurting for a while
Can we cut ourselves some slack
And let us lie down, let us lie down
Let us lie down, let me lie down
