Hand In My Pocket

by Alanis Morissette

I'm broke but I'm happy 
I'm poor but I'm kind 
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah 
I'm high but I'm grounded 
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed 
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby 
What it all comes down to 
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine 
I've got one hand in my pocket 
And the other one is giving a high five 
I feel drunk but I'm sober 
I'm young and I'm underpaid 
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah 
I care but I'm restless 
I'm here but I'm really gone 
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby 
What it all comes down to 
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright 
I've got one hand in my pocket 
And the other one is flicking a cigarette 
What it all comes down to 
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet 
I've got one hand in my pocket 
And the other one is giving the peace sign 
I'm free but I'm focused 
I'm green but I'm wise 
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby 
I'm sad but I'm laughing 
I'm brave but I'm chicken shit 
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby 
What it all boils down to 
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet 
I've got one hand in my pocket 
And the other one is playing the piano 
What it all comes down to my friends 
Is that everything's just fine fine fine 
I've got one hand in my pocket 
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab... 

"I hate the way you talk to me

and the way you cut your hair
I hate the way you drive my car
I hate it when you stare
I hate your big dumb combat boots
and the way you read my mind
I hate you so much it makes me sick
It even makes me rhyme
I hate the way you're always right
I hate it when you lie
I hate it when you make me laugh
Even worse when you make me cry
I hate when you're not around
and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."

This is one of the best explanations of why God allows pain and
suffering that I have seen. It's an explanation other people
will understand.

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
Barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:
"I don't believe that God exists." Why do you say that?" asked the
customer "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that
God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick
people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would
be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would
allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he
didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just
after he left the barbers shop, he saw a man in the street with long,
stringy, dirty hair & an un trimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.
The customer turned back and entered the barbershop again and he
said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed.
"Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people
with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES
exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him.
That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
