PC MUSICAL CHAIRS

Everyone gets a seat, no one gets left out
The desire to equalize is starting to numb us out
Blunting individuals, looking far too wide
Beyond the need to understand that every single mind
Must know its own reflection not one that has been supplied
With over regulation we've nothing to decide

Without the risk of failure we've nothing to achieve
But when failure is the basis on which a brand new moral theme
Is set from past conceptions of an old morality
How far does doctrination make it seem like a repeat?
Invisible consensus, value added facts
Standards shift without warning, something starts to crack

Hear it on radio see it on a screen
Read it in a paper they tell me what it means
In terms of having heard it somewhere else before
But the media self-appointed are laying down new laws
To give us more illusions and this one like disease
Has spread so well we find it hard to disbelieve

Political Correctness? Check the words out one by one
After years of media politics the first one is no fun
And "correctness" reeks of classrooms, being taught to toe the line
So don't tell me it is natural, or previously in our minds

Anyone with a conscience knows what is right or wrong
They're pushing what cannot be bought: a reason to belong

PC is just a label, not a statement of ID
Not a passport to be someone of some higher quality
When something says it for us and repeats it enough times
We believe we hear a chorus of other people's minds.
Then we all become self-conscious and lose the basic need
Of expressing our opinions; it's the root of being free

It's only by discussion of a difference that is known
Learning by discerning who we meet and where we go
No one sets morality, what you are is all your own
PC obscures reality- what you reap is what you sow
