I enjoy this CD, but this piece is absolutely timeless and pertinent on this day. So I will let Fiona Apple start off by being nice and calm before she absolutely rips this track apart...
I tell you how I feel, but you don't care I say "tell me the truth," but you don't dare You say love is a hell you cannot bear And I say gimme mine back and then go there, for all I care
I got my feet on the ground And I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds You're not at all what you seem This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you, don't come around I got my own hell to raise
I have never been so insulted in all my life I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride First you run like a fool just to be at my side And now you run like a fool, but you just run to hide And I can't abide
I got my feet on the ground And I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds You're not at all what you seem This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled By your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you, don't come around I got my own hell to raise
Don't make it a big deal Don't be so sensitive We're not playing a game anymore You don't have to be so defensive
Don't you plead me your case Don't bother to explain Don't even show me your face 'Cuz it's a crying shame Just go back to the rock From under which you came Take the sorrows you gave And all the stakes you claim And don't forget the blame
I got my feet on the ground And I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds And you're not at all what you seem This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled By your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you, don't come around I got my own hell to raise
I got my feet on the ground And I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds And you're not at all what you seem This mind, this body and this voice cannot be stifled By your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you, don't come around I got my own hell to raise

Lyrics
I don't mind
Letting you down easy but just give it time
If it don't hurt now, but just wait, just wait a while
You're not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they're feeding on
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you
Ain't it fun
Living in the real world
Ain't it good
Being all alone
Where you're from
You might be the one who's running things
Well you can ring anybody's bell and get what you want
See it's easy to ignore trouble
When you're living in a bubble
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you
So what are you gonna do
When nobody wants to fool with you
Ain't it fun
Living in the real world
Ain't it good
Being all alone
Ain't it good to be on your own
Ain't it fun, you can't count on no one
Ain't it good to be on your own
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one
Ain't it fun
Living in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on you're own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on you're own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on you're own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on you're own, in the real world
Ain't it fun, ain't it fun
Baby now you're one of us
Ain't it fun, ain't it fun, ain't it fun
Ain't it fun
Living in the real world
Ain't it good, ain't it good
Being all alone
Ain't it fun
Living in the real world
('Cause the world don't orbit around you)
Ain't it good, ain't it good
Being all alone
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, this is the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own,
In the real world (This is the real world, this is the real world)
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
'Cause you're on your own, in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama
Don't go crying
