Too P.C
Falling Sickness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Contributing to improving our existence
I try to live ideally
I guess I'm too PC
You can call me politically correct
You don't fucking care so why you upset?
Just wallow in your apathy
I guess I'm too PC
Don't wallow in your apathy
You can do what you wanna do it's PC
It's all about individuality
I don't like corporate AmeriKKKa
Their bullshit don't sell well with me
This country ain't no democracy
But Pete will blast being PC
I wanna save the O-zone layer
Wanna kick back smoking pot with my neighbor
I wanna land of real opportunity
That's what PC means to me
In Falling Sickness's song "Too P.C", the lead singer reflects on the concept of being politically correct and how it relates to his personal values and actions. He initially feels that his efforts towards being a more conscientious and considerate person are making a difference in society, but is met with criticism and indifference from others who see him as too PC. Despite this, the singer asserts his beliefs and argues that being politically correct is not a negative trait, but rather a way to promote individuality and create a better society. He also expresses his disdain for corporate America and the lack of democracy in the country, and ultimately defines political correctness as a means to pursue personal and collective progress.
The song's lyrics shed light on the ongoing debate surrounding political correctness and its impact on society. On one hand, the singer celebrates the idea of promoting equality and respect for others, and sees it as a necessary step towards achieving a better society. However, he also acknowledges the backlash that often comes with being politically correct, particularly from those who view it as an overzealous or unnecessary form of censorship. Despite this, the singer stands his ground and asserts that being PC is not a negative trait, but rather a way to promote individuality and create a better society.
