Alanis Morissette - It's A Bitch to Grow Up Lyrics

It's been ten years of investment
It's been one foot in and one out
It's been four days of full of shit
And I feel snuffed out.

It's been thirty three years of restraining
Of trying to control this tumult
How I did invest in such fantasy?
But my nervous system has won out.

I feel done
I feel raked over coals
And all that remains is the case
That it's a bitch to grow up.

I've repeated this dance ad nauseam
There's still something to learn that I've not
I totally see this is divine perfection
But my bones don't feel this perfection.

I feel done
I feel raked over coals
And all that remains is the case
That it's a bitch to grow up.

I've spent my life hovering above bottom
Thinking I can't survive what's below
But I've known through the kicking and screaming
That there was no other direction to go.

I feel done
I feel raked over coals
And all that remains is the case
That it's a bitch to grow up.
