"18 Wheeler"


Can't keep me down
Can't keep me down, down
Can't keep me down
I said you can't keep me down
You know you can't keep me down
I said you can't keep me down

Hey, hey, man! What's your problem?
I see you tryin' to hurt me bad
Don't know what you're up against
Maybe you should reconsider
Come up with another plan
Cuz you know I'm not that kinda girl
That'll lay there and let you come first

You can push me out the window
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won't give a fuck
You can hang me like a slave
I'll go underground
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can't keep me down, down, down, down

Can't keep me down, down
Can't keep me down, down, down
Can't keep me down, down

Hey, hey, girl! Are you ready for today?
You got your shield and sword?
Cuz its time to play the games
You are beautiful
Even though your not for sure
Don't let him pull you by the skirt
You're gonna get your feelings hurt

You can push me out the window
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won't give a fuck
You can hang me like a slave
I'll go underground
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can't keep me down, down, down, down

You can push me out the window
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won't give a fuck
You can hang me like a slave
I'll go underground
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can't keep me down, down, down, down

Everywhere that I go
There's someone waitin' to chain me
Everything that I say
There's someone tryin' to short-change me
I am only this way
Because of what you have made me
And I'm not gonna break!

You can push me out the window
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler truck
And I won't give a fuck
You can hang me like a slave
I'll go underground
You can run over me with your 18 wheeler but
You can't keep me down, down, down, down

I know I'm strong
I'll brave the storm
I know I can take a few hits
You ain't gotta worry bout this
Stay in my soul
Take care of my heart
Always got my own

But be gentle with me
Cause I'm human baby and I break
You know I might not make it to the next time baby,
that you say you're sorry I might go away

[Chorus:]
Cause I'm only strong as glass
They say I'm built to last but I could break
Yeah I'm only strong as glass
and I am all I have so if I break, there's no more

I say I'm good when I'm misunderstood
I already gave enough, so you can never call my bluff
I work with no pay but I'll find a way
Cause I don't wanna ask too much

But be gentle with me
Cause I'm human baby and I break
You know I might not make it to the next time baby
that you say you're sorry
I might....go away

[Chorus:]
Cause I'm only strong as glass
They say I'm built to last but I could break
Yeah I'm only strong as glass
and I am all I have so if I break,
there's no more oooooh oh oh

Strong as I am
Weak as a man I am oooohh
I'm gonna stand for as long as I can
Cause I am

I'm only strong as glass they say
I'm built to last but I could break
Yeah oooooh oh
I'm only strong as glass and I am all I have so
if I break...there's no more oh oooooh

I'm only strong as glass they say
I'm built to last but I could break, I could break
Hoooo oh ooooh oh ooooh oh
Yeah I'm only strong as glass and I am all I have so
if I break....there's no more oh oooooohhh

Oh man, I've had that album for like... 15 or 16 years now, since I was maybe 12 or 13 years old. Though I don't know what it says about me that my own favourite off of that album is "Head Over Feet."



I recall one of my teachers in junior high talking shit about Alanis Morissette and that one particular song ("You Oughta Know," not "Head Over Feet"), about SHE IS SO ANGRY WHY IS SHE SO ANGRY WHAT'S WITH THESE ANGRY WOMEN. I don't recall if I said anything to him about it, but of course I was thinking, like, "That's one bloody song off the album and 'Head Over Feet' of all things is also on it, what is your point?"
