Politically Correct

(chorus)
I don't mean to piss you off
By the things I might say
But when I try to shut my mouth
They come out anyway
When I speak my mind
That's when we connect
But that's not politically correct

Our heads are so filled with thought
We can't use our imagination
Like a sky so filled with stars
You can't find a constellation
And everyone's so sensitive
To every bad vibration
We're so impressing
While we're regressing

(chorus)

There's nothing I believe in more
Than my own insignificance
So why does everybody think
That my words can make a difference?
I just don't have time to think up
Every social consequence
I just keep on talking
And you keep applauding

I don't mean to piss you off
By the things I might say
But when I try to shut my mouth
They come out anyway
If you spoke your mind
You might feel more connected
Until you get politically corrected

You lean a little to the left or the right
But you can always tell who's on your side
You look a little like a deer in the headlights
A little blind, a little hypnotized
So you conform with the best of intentions
Change comes from inside
After all that's what this country was founded on
Do nothing different
Just fall in line


Tell me
What happened
To make us
So afraid?
You couldn't
Make a Mel Brooks movie today...
I saw Blazing Saddles yesterday

(chorus)
