Unprodigal Daughter Lyrics by Alanis Morissette

Unprodigal Daughter Lyrics

    I had disengaged to avoid being totaled
    I would run away and say good riddance, soon enough
    I had grown disgusted by your small-minded ceiling
    Imagine myself bolting had not been difficult

    Soon be my life
    Soon be my pace
    Soon be my choice of which you'll have no part of

    Unprodigal daughter and I’m heading for the west
    Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
    Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last
    I'd invite you but I'm busy being unoppressed

    I hit the ground running, although I know not what toward
    I hit the town feeling, forgetting all that came before
    I felt primed and ready, once surrounded by the pawns
    I felt culture shocked, but dissuaded, I was not

    This is my town
    This is my voice
    This is my taste of which you've have no part of

    Unprodigal daughter and I'm heading for the west
    Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
    Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last
    I'd invite you but I’m busy being unoppressed

    One day I’ll saddle back and speak of foreign adventures
    One day I’ll double back and tell you about these unfettered years
    One day I’ll look back and feel something other than relieved
    Glad that I left when I did before, I know you, you can't get the best of me

    When I’d speak of artistry you would roll your eyes skyward
    When I’d speak of spirituality you would label it absurd
    When I spoke of possibility you would frown and shake your head
    If I had stayed much longer, I’d have surely imploded

    These are my words
    This is my house
    These are my friends of which you've had no part

    Unprodigal daughter and I’m heading for the west
    Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
    Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last
    I’d invite you but I’m busy being unoppressed

    Unprodigal daughter and I’m heading for the west
    Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
    Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last
    I’d invite you but I’m busy being unoppressed
