Pray For Peace Lyrics - Alanis Morissette

I pray for peace. 

They require me to kick into high gear. 

We may as well have our ph.d.'s. 

Might we compose 

Was never taken into account. 

I pray they let out or talk it out. 

She would give me a wink across the room. 

I would've made a really good lawyer. 

I had a really good strategy 

For putting things back on the wall of the world. 

Thank God it was the goddamned wall. 

I would have to hide all my valuables. 

Who would calm my mother down? 

Who would calm me down once I talked her through it? 

My mother and I were the official peacemakers. 

It was a full-time job. 

I would send my mother directly to bed, yeah 

Don't collect 200. 

We'd talk about it till 5 a.m. 

When I'd come visiting her 5 years later.
