The Lyrics
I'm tired of people being called on the carpet for everything they say, in this society. Someone has to whine and cry racism, or something else. Let em whine. Let us speak.
In ev'ry speech that must be said
There is an element of dread
You ain't PC and zap!
Off with your head
So ev'ry word you choose to speak
Could send you up the creek
A prick! A churl!
You know now, boys and girls,
That a tongue filled with sugar
Helps the rhetoric go down
The rhetoric go down
The rhetoric go down
Just a mouth crammed with sugar
Helps the rhetoric go down
Pleasing everyone today
A robin feathering his nest
Will give you very little rest
He's singing loudly early in the morn
Cause he don't really give a hoot
If you don't like the way he toots
He knows PC is just for you and me
For a tongue filled with sugar helps the rhetoric slide down
The rhetoric slide down
The rhetoric slide down
Just a mouthful of honey helps the rhetoric slide down
In the most robotic way
There is an element of dread
You ain't PC and zap!
Off with your head
So ev'ry word you choose to speak
Could send you up the creek
A prick! A churl!
You know now, boys and girls,
That a tongue filled with sugar
Helps the rhetoric go down
The rhetoric go down
The rhetoric go down
Just a mouth crammed with sugar
Helps the rhetoric go down
Pleasing everyone today
A robin feathering his nest
Will give you very little rest
He's singing loudly early in the morn
Cause he don't really give a hoot
If you don't like the way he toots
He knows PC is just for you and me
For a tongue filled with sugar helps the rhetoric slide down
The rhetoric slide down
The rhetoric slide down
Just a mouthful of honey helps the rhetoric slide down
In the most robotic way

Excellent, Royce...can I call you Royce? You won't be offended?...;-) 555
A very good job of poking fun at political correctness. "The rhetoric go down" is a very fitting line.
Thanks for the comments, and Kristof, you can call me anything you want; pick a name, any name.
