Cover art for One lyrics by Alanis Morissette

this song is great... she sounds so sad as she sings "i have abused my power forgive me ", I get shivers every time I listen to it.
I think it's maybe talking about her earlier days in the music business, when she was a "sexy treadmill capitalist", maybe she thinks she sold out or wasn't true enough to herself. Personally I think she was and is a lot more real than a lot of artists out there, Alanis rocks!!
