Politically Correct
All day long all I do is shake my head
Over all that can and can't be said
That's okay but mind you never that
If it wasn't so sad perhaps then I could laugh
Insanity wears a worn out mask
With everybody being Politically Correct
With feelings now we're trying not to hurt
So bite your tongue before you blurt
Do you need more training down at work
With sensitivity being the latest word
Know what you can do and what you can't
With everybody being Politically Correct
Don't call someone by preference or nationality
It singles them out for all to see
And it could hurt their feelings very badly
And feelings should always be bad feely free
This is not a secret that should be kept
As everybody is Politically Correct
If you're out in a crowd and don't know what to do
Call up the P.C. Police and they'll explain it to you
Take their thoughts and chew them as food
So you don't come across as being rude
You don't want them all to say what the heck
As everybody is Politically Correct
So watch yourself when you open your mouth
Be careful with what comes pouring out
The world's an angry cat to this lowly mouse
My hope is you never find that out
The common sense window is now closed on all bets
As everybody is Politically correct
