Hand in my pocket

I was driving to the mall this afternoon and this song came on the radio. I thought the lyrics are cool and express a sort of hip melancholy and matter of fact mood that i could appreciate. I ran a search online and here you go:

Alanis Morissette~ Hand In My Pocket

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlNNcj_j-NM

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
coz 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

And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
coz 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
coz 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

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
coz I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano

What it all comes down to my dear friends
Is that everything is just fine fine fine
coz I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxicab...
