Mr. PC

References both the PC, which were new to most people in 1997, and the jazz tune Mr. PC by John Coltrane, but has nothing to do with jazz or Coltrane. 

We've always got to be politically correct
To say  the right things at the right time
Religiosity so seemingly perfect
Just tell me when to genuflect
Is it the right time?

I got blue trousers
To match my blue shoes
I got a pair of shades so dark
That they conceal my views
I will never ever be myself
And strive to be just like you
Just tell me what to say and do
Is it the right time?

Mr. PC
What should I be?
Mr. PC
Will I ever be me?
Mr. PC
What should I feel?
Mr. PC
Is life really real?
Mr. PC
Control me now!
Mr. PC
I'm under your control! 

(7/1997)
