Song Description

A mild rant against political correctness.

Lyrics

Verse:1
Standing on a lonely hill, looking out across the fields
Try?n to find the daffodil that never even grew
A mother tries but she cannot hold, that child the politician stole;
I wonder what the world is coming to
Verse: 2
You can't go north, you can't go south
They try to put words in your mouth
And every time you spit them out
They start to turn the screw
They killed the jolly golly cos he had a racial name
And if old Punch and Judy are so utterly profane
I wonder what the world is coming to
Bridge:1
When you were a young kid, did you build some castles in the sand?
And when they fell down was it hard to understand?
Verse: 3
The gun still makes the loudest sound
Those unsung heroes went to ground
The widows and the orphan?s pound on doors of dreams they knew
Somebody high up?s bound to call, somebody else responsible
I wonder what the world is coming to
Verse: 4
You can?t smoke this and you can?t smoke that
They legalize the weed, and when we try and take it back
The roof falls in and when the plaster cracks, the wise owl goes cuckoo
The sun is going down and the tide is going out
Deserts freezing over and there's gonna be a drought
I wonder what the world is coming to
Bridge:2
Once they used to ask politely, ?please don?t walk upon the grass
Now they paint their yellow lines on top of broken glass
Verse:5
The vintage wine was left un-chilled,
And there are two birds one stone killed
It didn?t stop the blood that spilled upon the soldiers shoe
The scarecrow had nobody else, so all he did was scare himself;
I wonder what the world is coming to
Bridge 2:
Did ever hear about a mule called muffin
He spent his whole life working just a huffing and a puffing
He used to have his dreams but they never brought him nothing
The common man gets chewed
The Whitehall wizard serves his head upon a silver platter
The bone sticks in my throat cos the fat cat's getting fatter
I wonder what the world is coming to
