No Offense

No offense I plan my actions carefully A good impression is the key I’d rather die than have the people Think not nice of me I’ll smile when it’s required I’ll nod no matter what Yes, even when I don’t agree I’ll keep them tight and shut Why should I be authentic? It is not worth the fuss Excuse me therefore if at times You’re thrown under the bus Because I take no chances And you should understand I know I gave you wrong ideas But it is all staged and planned Just play along, take no offense My reputation is at stake Be glad that I am still your friend Even though I’m just a fake.
