(Spoken words taken from an old recording: "The women of the family seem to feel that they owe it to the men of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime.")
For you they live in a quiet monastery
For you they wear whatever you want them to as long as it is short
They count to ten when you tell them how to drive
And when they're afraid they let you speak for them
All hail the king of intimidation
Obeyer of Christian behavior
For you we'll wax; we skin, chicken our legs
For you we chew our nails if we had any but fake ones to do it
We contradict him temporarily
And it was somethin' about how you talk down to me
All hail the king of intimidation
Obeyer of Christian behavior
The role of compromises for the family you now want some
There's only so much we can do to make you rest assured
I am single
I am weary
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/king-of-intimidation-lyrics-alanis-morissette.html ]
You're just jealous
You're just confused
You're just hungry
You're in sin now
You're not happy
You like kidding
All hail the king of intimidation
Obeyer of Christian behavior
He knows not of what he has wrongly done
So forgive his ignorant behavior
You are tortured
You are captured
You are busted
We were silent
You were tested
You did better
You are lonely
Was it worth it?
La,la,la,la

Those lyrics are wrong. Here's the REAL lyrics. ("The women of the family seem to feel that they owe it to the men of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime.") For you they live in a quiet monastery For you they wear whatever you want them to as long as it is short They count to ten when you tell them how to drive And when they're afraid they had you speak for them All hail the king of intimidation My daddy loves your Christian behavior For you we wax and still shaking our legs For you we chew our nails if we had any buy fake ones to do it We contradict him temporarily And it was somethin' about how you talk down to me All hail the king of intimidation My daddy loves your Christian behavior The room of compromise is full and apparently you don't want some There's only so much we can do to make you rest ****ured I am single I am weary You're just jealous You're just confused You're just hungry You'll be sinned out You're not happy You I pity All hail the king of intimidation My daddy loves your Christian behavior He knows not of what he has wrongly done So forgive his ignorant behavior You are tortured You are captured You are busted We were silent You were destine You knew better You are lonely Was it worth it? La,la,la,la
