lyrics

They started out fine
But they crossed the line.

Freedom of speech is what they won't teach.
(Yet they never practice what they preach).
Freedom of thought they won't let be taught.
(Only the naïve will let themselves be caught).
Freedom of choice is everyone's decision
(Yet they silence our voice with lack of vision).
Freedom in chains if we switch off our brains
(All that remains are frustrations' pains).

PC rules were made by fools
To be obeyed by other fools.

They insist we behave and say what we're told.
Those anonymous bureaucrats maintain a stranglehold.
Illogical, dictatorial, no rational debate.
They demand we obey and face up to our fate.
Don't ask questions, they just want blind acceptance.
Euphemisms hide the truth that bad things need resistance.
Political correctness is a joke without a punchline.
You waste your free will convinced that they are all benign.

PC rules were made by fools…

Chinese are Oriental, Indians are Asian
(One's Mongolian)
They're not the same race or the same nation
(The other's Caucasian)
We mustn't say Indian but Native American
(Now here's a contradiction)
In South America they're still called Indian
(A typical anomaly of PC confusion).

PC rules were made by fools…

PC gone bad
Like Orwell's '84 or Hitler in the war.
PC gone bad
They shouldn't turn opinions into a law.
More than sad, worse than mad.
It ought to have been a passing fad.
Political correctness gone bad.
Over the top? More than a tad.

PC rules were made by fools…

Their bumpy roads
Lead to PC spin doctor speech codes.
