lyrics

There's a term by which I'm guided that's been slighted and derided
And right wingers can't abide it But I wish we wouldn't hide it

"Politically correct" is just another way to say
Not being an asshole
And if you should ever doubt it
Look at who complains about it
They use being 'non PC'
As a rather loose excuse to be
Homophobic racist sexist anti Semitic
And a way to put down any critic
Don't think we didn't see the meme you tweeted
It doesn't disappear just cause you delete it
Your rudeness we reject
What's wrong with being politically correct?

"Politically correct" was once meant as a compliment
For using nice manners
The entire affair doesn't merit scorning
Cause a few kids wig out over trigger warning
Some overreach does not mean being PC
Is worse than misogyny and bigotry
Insults and lies don't comprise a great speech
And don't blame the media when you spew hate speech
It's not defending 'truth and candor'
When to the basest of your racist fans you pander
Politically correct is simply showing people some respect
And using a shred of intellect
In the leaders we elect,
there's nothing wrong with being politically correct!
