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.....
