Citizen of the Planet Lyrics

Cover art for Citizen of the Planet lyrics by Alanis Morissette

If Buddha (or Jesus) came back as a sometimes geeky, sometimes hyper-mature Canadian girl, how many would recognize him? Evidently, very few. "Patriotism expanded... By callings from beyond." "My laws are all of attraction. My punishments are consequences." Read Krishnamurti and Ram Dass, I guess. (Who would get =her= if they didn't understand where she =came= from?)

I think the line "Patriotism expanded..." began with her becoming an American citizen. ;-) Her feelings about that, about the two nations Canada and America and her (possibly buddistic) view of the rest of the world and her place in it.
