Offend In Every Way Lyrics
I'm patient of this plan
as humble as I can
I'll wait another day
before I turn away
but know this much is true
no matter what I do
offend in every way
I don't know what to say
You tell me to relax
and listen to these facts
that everyone's my friend
and will be till the end
but know this much is true
no matter what I do
no matter what I say
offend in every way
I'm walking through the door
but they're expecting more
of an interesting man
and sometimes I think I can
but how much can I fake
I'll speak until I break
with every word I say
offend in every way
as humble as I can
I'll wait another day
before I turn away
but know this much is true
no matter what I do
offend in every way
I don't know what to say
and listen to these facts
that everyone's my friend
and will be till the end
but know this much is true
no matter what I do
no matter what I say
offend in every way
but they're expecting more
of an interesting man
and sometimes I think I can
but how much can I fake
I'll speak until I break
with every word I say
offend in every way

yeah..... i agree.. Im not the person to tell u what is wrong or right, but as most of this has NOTHING to do with the song, u should maybe tell others in a chat or something, but this is still songmeanings. Not 'talk about how much u love the band' ....
i guess this song describes how he always feels ppl misunderstand him, when he says anything they always take it the wrong way and then are offended, althoughhe doesnt mean to offend. And that just pisses him off. I can totally translate to that.
yeah anni's right, i have the same problem. like in my case im normally nice to people but if i ever state an opnion people get offended and always throw all your niceness back in your face, one bad thing will overide a thousand good things that youve done. i dont know if people will make sence of this but its what it means to me
Sadly, you are all WRONG. I recently heard an interview, linked through their site, in which Jack tells the interviewer what he likes least about himself/what he would like to change. He said his voice (talking voice). He didn't like it. He felt it was offensive to everyone, and even wrote a song about it- Offend In Every Way. By the way, you're guys aren't really wrong.You can never be wrong in letting people know how YOU feel. I'm just letting you know what i heard. Also, Elephant ROCKS my socks off.
THis song reminds me alot of myself, if it means what I think it does anyway. To me it sounds like, especialy in the last verse, that he hates the way the we are sort of forced to talk to each other, make stupid small talk and saying things like "How are you" and "Glad to meet you" when you don't really care how the person is or you're not actually glad to meet someone when you don't even no them. Anyway, that's what it sounds like to me, that he is offending people because he doesn't talk like them.
Okay, well I love the White Stripes as much as the next person .:if the next person doesn't like them, all hell will rise:.lol.
anthem of my life
The guitar work in this song is amazing...it should go down in history as some of the best of the times...
jimmytheexpolder how can you only own the white blood cells album, when the song Jimmy The Exploder is on the first self titled album White Stripes?
I doubt you'l ever actually reply as you did write that like 3 years ago..feels strange knowing that.

I thought this song was a kind of feminist song. No matter what this person does its wrong because shes a woman.
