[Verse 1]
I am the harm which you inflict
I am your brilliance and frustration
I'm the nuclear bombs if they're to hit
I am your immaturity and your indignance

[Verse 2]
I am your misfits and your praised
I am your doubt and your conviction
I am your charity and your rape
I am your grasping and expectation

[Chorus 1]
I see you averting your glances
I see you cheering on the war
I see you ignoring your children
And I love you still, and I love you still

[Verse 3]
I am your joy and your regret
I am your fury and your elation
I am your yearning and your sweat
I am your faithless and your religion

[Chorus 2]
I see you altering history
I see you abusing the land
I see you, your selective amnesia
And I love you still, and I love you still

[Bridge 1]
I see you averting your glances
I see you cheering on the war
I see you ignoring your children
And I love you still, and I love you still
I see you altering history
I see you abusing the land
I see you, your selective amnesia
And I love you still, and I love you still

[Interlude with Alani's vocals]

[Verse 4]
I am your tragedy and your fortune
I am your crisis and delight
I am your profits and your prophets
I am your art, I am your bytes

[Verse 5]
I am your death and your decisions
I am your passion and your plights
I am your sickness and convalescence
I am your weapons and your light

[Chorus 3]
I see you holding your grudges
I see you gunning them down
I see you silencing your sisters
And I love you still, and I love you still

[Chorus 4]
I see you lie to your country
I see you forcing them out
I see you blaming each other
And I love you still, and I love you still

[Bridge 2]
I see you holding your grudges
I see you gunning them down
I see you silencing your sisters
And I love you still, and I love you still
I see you lie to your country
I see you forcing them out
I see you blaming each other
And I love you still, and I love you still

[Interlude with Alani's vocals]

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
