So, You're Offended

So, you’re offended, horribly offended

Though I don’t comprehend it

‘Cause what offended wasn’t about you

But you were in your bubble

When you encountered trouble

‘Cause you got on the net

Where you just might get

An opposing view

And now you’re mad as hell

And your veins, they swell

And your fingers tapping trouble out

To people who think different from you

And now three days have gone

And you’re still ranting on

Dishing danger out to strangers

‘Till they say that they agree with your views

Reasonable people

When they’re walking down the street

And they see a pile of doggie do

They do their best to go around

The hot mess on the ground

‘Cause that’s what smart people do

But ever since detecting it

You’re on your knees inspecting it

Like it’s a real job you have

Now, you’ve touched it and you tasted it

You licked and you kicked it

And you wonder why your life’s so sad

‘Cause now you’re smeared in shit

And you bathe in it

And you won’t rest until the rest of us

And possibly the best of us

Are bathed in it, too

There’s a world outside, it’s beautiful

And it’s waiting there for you

To experience its wonders, all you have to do

Is when there’s something you don’t like

Just click away, ‘cause if you don’t, really

What does that say?

You want to be offended!

So, you’re offended, so what?

Horribly offended, who cares?

I suggest that you end it ‘cause really

It’s what’s best for you

Here’s my tip for you

Do what I would do

When I’m on the net and get upset

I put it down and go outside

Maybe ride a bike or go fly a kite

Or go for a walk and see the sights

Call a friend and get a bite

Just do something you like!

And you won’t be offended

So horribly offended

Life could be rose-scented

Don’t waste it being offended
