Credit For Not Taking Credit

You say you don't bring up your little acts of charity
The modest role you play has got to be a parody
You do so much when no one's looking like you do not care
But you are sure to leave your fingerprints everywhere

And you want credit for not taking credit
You want credit for not taking credit for things you do
The caring things you do

You hope that people talk of all of your philanthropy
You can not help it if you're filled with so much sanctity
You like to keep it to yourself is what you always claim
But then you seem to always accidentally sign your name

And you want credit for not taking credit
You want credit for not taking credit for the things you do
The caring things you do

You never do it from the goodness of your heart
Turn insincerity into an art
You never do it from the goodness of your heart
You're only filling up your karmic shopping cart

We can't deny that you display such generosity
The way you go about it is a real monstrosity

And you want credit for not taking credit
You want credit for not taking credit for the things you do
Those caring things you do
You want credit for not taking credit
