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
Cause 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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/alanis_morissette/hand_in_my_pocket.html ]
And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
Cause 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
Cause 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
But 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
Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxicab

As a cover singer and guitar player that preforms this song, i think it's about finding acceptance in yourself and moving forward after you've found that acceptance.

Basically this song is a poetic testiment to "give and take", and neurotic reality. These themes are all expressed with a nod to self-conscious living.
I have never heard this song sung by a girl before. The only person i have ever heard sing this song is my step-dad, and i like it, but i just think it's different. I think she is just saying that you just have to relax and take life as it comes, because if you don't, then you just make everything so much more complicated than it really needs to be.
