Politically Correct
CapStan feat. Jeff Schneiter Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are some things I have to say regarding your blasphemy.
And honestly it′s been killing me.
Quit driving slander that you speak home maybe you'll hit the truth.
Not a bump in the road or an unpaid toll you′re a high speed wreck with a telephone poll
Infect my friends, I'll rip the scab away.

An unmentioned story on an empty highway.
You're gone and all that′s left is a lesson and... a scar to stay

I hope you know that it′s over and done
You can cry all you want but we won't change.
These colors never fucking run.

Breaking my back trying to get through the day
And every word that′s coming at me makes it harder to stray
Away from every thought we don't want to relate to
Your mindless stance can′t alter plans on artistic points of view

Fuck what you think.

Overall Meaning

The song "Politically Correct" by Capstan feat. Jeff Schneiter is a powerful message on the effects of false accusations and slander. The lyrics take a confrontational stance towards those who engage in blasphemy against religion and speak ill of others. The singer expresses how these acts of defamation have been disturbing him and how the accusers should be careful with their words, or they might end up revealing the truth instead.

The song goes on to paint a vivid picture of the damage such false accusations can cause, referring to them as a high-speed wreck with a telephone pole. The damage inflicted on friends and family is likened to a scar that will never go away. The lyrics also state, somewhat wistfully, that the individual being addressed has already departed, leaving behind only their toxic legacy.

The song ends on a defiant note, challenging the culprits to do their worst and declaring that the group being addressed will never back down or compromise their beliefs. The lyrics emphasize that the band's colors never run and that they will always stand up for justice and truth, regardless of the cost.
