Voltaire - So, You're Offended Lyrics






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

Voltaire So, You're Offended Comments
  1. R.... ....

    I'm offended by people





    who are offended by me and my personality

  2. k.... ....

    No one:
    Absolutely no one at all:
    Aurelio Voltaire: Doggie do

  3. k.... ....

    No way, I didn't know a new album came out last year, holy sh--, love you Voltaire!

  4. n.... ....

    i love when a song loops perfectly

  5. D.... ....

    You still got it, Voltaire.

  6. A.... N....

    I love how he resumes things at the end of his critical songs.

  7. S.... N....

    I have to remember this song. I have to send it to some people

  8. J.... L....

    his voice would sound great for some 50s music

  9. C.... S....

    The 21st Century needs this song.

  10. W.... Q....

    Got here from The Cog Is Dead's "Another Cog in 25 STEAMPUNK STYLES", and don't regret it in the slightest. Now, please excuse me, I'll be bingeing the remainder of the songs I haven't yet seen.

  11. C.... N....

    This is definitely my favorite song from this album. It's fantastic!

  12. M.... F....

    Great song and very on point when it comes to the ones leading the witch hunts of today.

  13. G.... ....

    15 persons didnt get the song message

  14. S.... V....

    Voltaire kind of reminds me of a goth Ben Folds

  15. m.... ....

    voltaire is top kek

  16. Y.... R....

    So many people on Twitter need to hear this.

  17. P.... ....

    Finally got around to listening to the new album. This is an absolute earworm, people do seem set off by little things these days. But then again theres a pretty big difference between "you dont ship these characters and ive never been so personally insulted" and "this person is literally spouting nazi propaganda to kids we need to do something about that"

  18. M.... M....

    I believe this is a message for people that reacted poorly to his songs god thinks and cathouse tragedy

  19. s.... g....

    You have great songs as always, but hey, you have become a better singer too!

  20. R.... B....

    I hope you don't mind that I shared the video on my site (with the "share" button, of course!) under the Hungarian translation of a letter by Cyrano (For the Stupid Reader and not for the Sage). As it is Hungarian, I will not write here the link.

  21. F.... D....

    SJW description done in a fun musical way? LOL

    F.... D....

    Are you just going through the album to comment about SJWs? You seem a little more triggered to me.

  22. O.... C....

    Voltaire still out here killing it and slinging truth.

  23. T.... ....

    I'm loving this new stuff. Just found your music through your gothic homemaking series and I'm loving it! I'm your age and i can so relate to this sentiment 💜

  24. M.... G....

    Best Song for Millennials XD

  25. A.... t....

    Lol, love it🖤

  26. J.... C....

    I feel personally attacked by this song.




    Gonna post it on Tumblr (with credit obviously) and see people get pissed off

  27. A.... S....

    Love it !

  28. K.... ....

    i really like how this song isn't saying don't get offended but rather saying don't dwell and move on. love this so much <3

  29. L.... ....

    Fantastic as always.

  30. D.... d....

    Sexy mother clucker addition?

  31. G.... H....

    👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 this was perfect

  32. A.... E....

    I like Voltaire's dog shit analogy, because it is indeed pointless to be offended by something you encountered by chance and can easily avoid. But when someone is constantly, deliberately leaving piles upon piles of dog shit on your yard, or even throwing it at your face (or if the same thing is happening to someone who doesn't deserve it), no one should shame you for calling it out and demanding it stops.

  33. B.... ....

    I LOVE this song.. omg.

  34. s.... c....

    👌 Voltaire.

  35. G.... ....

    Lol I remember you talking about this in of your advice video for dealing with trolls.

  36. F.... S....

    following this guy since aqw

  37. J.... D....

    This so goes out to all the asshats on all sides of the political spectrum and the internet as a whole.

  38. G.... B....

    I need to share this throughout my school

  39. J.... F....

    Absolutely LOVE this!

  40. S.... S....

    Voltaire, you're a hero.

  41. L.... T....

    Oh yes, what a true

  42. O.... G....

    12 people are offended.

  43. 9.... ....

    I hate this is describes me a little bit.

  44. N.... Y....

    Sending this to anyone who get offended by what I say lol

    N.... Y....

    Nero Yamamoto I’ve been doing that XD

  45. N.... A....

    I like this like I like the land of the dead

  46. T.... ....

    I have a new theme song for my life. Cheers!

  47. C.... M....

    Wow this describes Twitter perfectly

  48. T.... C....

    In all seriousness, I work at an ice cream shop, and they let me dp the Halloween decorations. I put up the typical cutesy spooky stuff, little black cats, pumpkins, brooms sticks, and all that. My boss got emails and calls about how "It's not Christain!" And how these twats won't be coming back. Over Casper the Friendly ghost level stuff.

    T.... C....

    That never happens nowadays, you're more likely to have someone call Caspar a symbol of white supremacy.

    T.... C....

    @Lil' Evola
    You've never been to the South apparently.

    T.... C....

    @The Creepoid No, I haven't, I'm Australian.

    T.... C....

    @Lil' Evola
    Trust me, it's a real thing that happens in the American Bible Belt. You probably haven't heard about the people flipping their lids over businesses saying "Happy Holidays" as if it was a direct insult to their faith.

    T.... C....

    @The Creepoid Yeah, that's silly I suppose, Evangelicals, Protestants, and some Catholics need to learn from other types of slightly more passive or secular Christians

  49. T.... C....

    Send this to the twits flushing razorblades down the crapper

    T.... C....

    @The Creepoid Can you name examples of small crimes being accidentally punished by death? I do recall one time a police officer shot a black man in front of his wife and kids for having a LEGAL gun in his car, that was appalling. I do agree police brutality is an issue in general but I don't think it's intentional 60% of the time, I think it's the stress of the job, being traumatized by crime, and the fact that we don't have a warrior class so any mentally unstable Joe Schmoe can sign up.

    T.... C....

    @Lil' Evola
    I'll do you one better. Tamir Rice, a kid who was gunned down by police for playing with a toy gun in public. Keep in mind with our recent shootings where people been killed, police try to take the murderers alive, while this kid was killed in cold blood.

    T.... C....

    @The Creepoid Indeed, that's pretty fucked.
    But getting back to what this was originally about I wouldn't say that these people who call the cops on random black folk are the type of people you can just call "offended", they're either mildly concerned or racist.

    T.... C....

    @Lil' Evola
    I guess we'll disagree what constitutes as being being offended by thin skinned assholes. Anyways, I have work to go to, so, good night from your troglodytic friend.

    T.... C....

    ​@The Creepoid Good night, from you Aussie buddy.

  50. J.... Y....

    Oh Yeah Yeah, Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

  51. L.... T....

    No one pays me to do what I do...so I ain't stopping.I am not offended.I am THE OFFENDER.Someone's gotta do it;)By the way...your nice :)

  52. D.... U....

    As someone who really tries to put assholes in their place when I can, I still loved this song. Because I'm not offended, I don't carry their shit around. I call them out on it, and walk away. In your analogy I see dog shit on the ground, I say hey look, dog shit, and then I walk the fuck away...Thanks V.

  53. A.... D....

    Amen!!!

  54. L.... C....

    Is it me, or the new album has songs that represent how everything/people are now?
    Even if it's not I still love this.

  55. P.... D....

    Preach.

  56. T.... O....

    Hey, Voltaire! will you be posting the re-released version of Come Sweet Death? Awesome Music by the way it always puts a smile on face and brightens up my day!

  57. D.... A....

    Go The Fuck Outside - The Song

  58. S.... D....

    Hahaa! This is brilliant, one of my favourites now 😁

  59. N.... V....

    My new favorite song.

  60. 8.... ....

    Still killing it Mr. Voltaire, hope you come back to Maine sometime

  61. D.... D....

    i have poetry on my Facebook haven't had anyone say what they really think of them just one person who writes her own like me. i have some that are just a title and nothings written on them here is the link. https://www.facebook.com/dianadarkstorm
     when you got time and i don't have the money to buy a lot of goth stuff either.

  62. H.... ....

    That doggie doo analogy really reminds me of my father, thank you for this satisfying song.

  63. P.... L....

    this album is going to be amazing. :)

  64. D.... ....

    Hey can we make this mainstream?

  65. K.... ....

    The funny thing is if someone offended the previous music video Voltaire made '' one semester lesbian'' withouth giving the lyrics a thorough listen and think its anti-gay ( which is not)

    you can just show this music video to them

  66. F.... ....

    I gotta remember to send this to everyone who got offended by that Gillette ad.

  67. G.... ....

    Got the album yesterday. Now my girlfriend is a glowing sellout one-semester lesbian on MySpace who's joined the Medicated Girl's brigade. This is your fault and I blame you. So, I'm offended, quite frankly. To hell with this, I'm moving to Venus. Though I'm pretty busy, I need some brand new time to do it. - I know there's firestorms up there and I'll die, but whatever. Come sweet death is what I say. <3

    G.... ....

    Did you just combine all the titles?

    G.... ....

    @Pokémaniac Guquiz Yais! For funsies. ^_^

  68. h.... g....

    Why doesn't this have. 10 million views ???


    I'm offended

  69. S.... R....

    This song is basically about me. I am the person this song is about. Thank you.

  70. J.... B....

    I know MR Voltaire have done songs for cartoons before, Billy and Mandy, and this Kinda feel as if it could fit in som kind of show

  71. S.... M....

    This is my new "god thinks." thank you!!

  72. C.... ....

    I have a mighty need for this to be a music video of some variety, I'll even take a fan animated one I just NEED one.

  73. S.... ....

    I think I'm gonna start sending this song to anyone fighting nonsense on the net XD

  74. L.... L....

    A little over 10 years ago, I would listen to your songs over my brother's speakers, and I am just barely re-discovering your music. I absolutely love your style and your presence. Thanks for making my childhood so much better!
