Song lyrics
How to stay paralyzed by fear of abandonment
How to defer to men in solvable predicaments
How to control someone to be a carbon copy of you
How to have that not work and have them run away from you.

How to keep people at arm's length and never get too close
How to mistrust the ones you supposedly love the most
How to pretend you're fine and don't need help from anyone
How to feel worthless unless you're serving or helping someone -

I'll teach you all this in eight easy steps
A course of a lifetime, you'll never forget
I'll show you how to in eight easy steps
I'll show you how leadership looks when taught by the best.

How to hate women when you're supposed to be a feminist 
How to play all pious when you're really a hypocrite
How to hate God when you're a pray-er and a spiritualist
How to sabotage your fantasies by fears of success -

I'll teach you all this in eight easy steps
A course of a lifetime, you'll never forget
I'll show you how to in eight easy steps
I'll show you how leadership looks when taught by the best.

I've been doing research for years
I've been practicing my ass off
I've been training my whole life for this moment, I swear to you
Culminating just to be this well-versed leader before you -

I'll teach you all this in eight easy steps
A course of a lifetime, you'll never forget
I'll show you how to in eight easy steps
I'll show you how leadership looks when taught by the best.

How to lie to yourself and thereby to everyone else
How to keep smiling when you're thinking of killing yourself
How to numb a la holic to avoid going within
How to stay stuck in blue by blaming them for everything -

I'll teach you all this in eight easy steps
A course of a lifetime, you'll never forget
I'll show you how to in eight easy steps
I'll show you how leadership looks when taught by the best.

I really like the video , how they do the flashbacks n everything... I wonder how they made the lips move to the words of the song in all the clips of all of her videos... that was also very cool!

This is the Alanis we all love! I agree with mamasboy too. This is the best style for her. I liked Hands Clean, but not the other songs she released after Jagged Little Pill. However this song is great and makes up for those other ones.

Maybe she's realized that this is what works. I hope there's more like this to come!

I love this song.

They do they vidoe by digitally removing the mouth off of the old videos and replacing it with the mouth singing the new song.
