Wounded Leading Wounded

Alanis Morissette


We didn't bring forth this major mean being
We never meant to undermine its baneful meaning
We intend to be cowards til it's leaving
We shall only respect its cruelty within

We didn't wound ourselves as we're much too catholic
We didn't cause the pain, psychic tensions wouldn't click
We will point towards this suspicious evil force
We will rest at our place during our self-destructive course

We two unlocked these guns instead
We two are one mind to see the end of the tearin' up tunnel
And it's so hung and it's so long
We're wounded leading wounded

We'd never accept any of the proposals they made
We didn't take our pills to show we're harder than our mates
We will fire backwards to demonstrate our arms
We shall never give up, no matter whom we may harm

We two unlocked these guns instead
We two are one mind to see the end of the tearin' up tunnel
And it's so hung and it's so long
We're wounded leading wounded

We see the foe of them all, see the chance to kill him
We see the fear of our own, see the victims lyin'
Here on this battle field between love and hatred
We oughta withdraw our troups but still

We two unlocked these guns instead
We two are one mind to see the end of the tearin' up tunnel
And it's so hung and it's so long
We're wounded leading wounded
