Political Correctness

Don't Rock the Boat The words I hear most often spoken "politically correct" remind me of, something I heard, by some religious sect Do not question, "that's taboo" and now you're out of line not the way you're taught to think, that isn't our design Ours is the way, you speak and think, so you can get along just remember left is right, and remember right is wrong Politically correct it is, carefully choose your words fury may rain down on you, if you mix up bees and birds So many things to change and learn, my head is in a spin always try to pick generic, "correctness" is a win Not quite sure what passport means, gate is open wide illegals, (oops) "undocumenteds", show their cards with pride Voter ID in the way, in many states it's not you can have, four legs and bark, "the California lot" Really hard to pick a phrase, with all of them they brag only one won't get their vote, it's called the "American Flag" Prayer is gone from all the schools, mats are still in place "In God We Trust" is all but gone, from this, the human race I know there are a lot of you, and together you have clout you need to stand, locked arm in arm, or they "will" burn you out "Excuse me please?" The warning bell, it makes all of them frown to them it is an insult, their answer? Shout you down A hundred thousand, thousand things, that turn our country sour most left, some right, correct it is, that take us towards that hour Islamist extremeists? Don't mention them in vain scared they'll offend one third the world, for the ten percent insane Yes all lives matter this we know, a lot will disagree they're the ones that loot and burn, and disrupt lifes harmony Protected by "corrected" left, they're encouraged in their acts another ten percenter group, that's twisting all the facts Unconscious in their warped beliefs, that "their" life is the way tunnel vision, guides them well, yes each and every day.....
