Political correctness has reached a brand new low It has now reached good and evil And has changed things down below The devil is still the devil, That much has not changed But, the food is all organic And the meat is all free range I didn't know the changes 'till I made a plea last week To sell my soul for increased wealth And other things I seek I expected a commotion When the devil came from hell But, there was nothing quite so flashy When someone...rang my bell I answered thinking nothing much I looked outside to check I am wary of the Mormons and Jehovahs on my deck I looked outside and there I saw A man dressed all in grey A poll taker, election geek Let's see what he may say "Good day, kind sir, I come to you" "You wanted to be rich" I thought he isn't from no bank of mine He said "Sir, just call me Mitch" "Mitch", I said, "I don't know how" "you'd know I want to sell my soul" He told me that was why he's here To get a deal done was his goal I said, "why use the door bell" "Why not the cloud of smoke" He said "with budget cuts' "Pyrotechnics made us   broke" "The PC folks got wind of us" "of our tricks and double speak" "Now, you sign away your soul to us" "but, you can get out within the week" "We can't go by the same old name" "Hell is not allowed" "We're H...E...double hockey sticks" "Try saying that aloud" "It doesn't have the forcefulness" "That the other word once had" "we can call it heck, if we're in a pinch" "You can see, it's got quite sad" "The contracts are all readable" "You don't have to sign in blood" "With *** and STD's" "It may as well be mud" "A soul still has some meaning" "But, as you yourself can see" "The devil stays at home now" "And sends his minions out...like me" "I have a small brochure for you" "You have choices, please pick six" "It's more a club, a health resort" "In H...E...double sticks" "I can't get out, I'm stuck for good" "I signed my deal before" "The PC people got us good" "And now...we use the door" "Please look over the contract" "Take your time, and read it close" "You'll find it is a real good read" "With language, non verbose" "If you should have some questions" "change your mind,  or want to tour" "Just call me on my cell phone "I'm at star66 extension 4" "I'm sure you'll still come down to us" "It's not so bad, you'll see" "Just call me when you're ready" "You've got time, now we're PC"

Politically Correct Soul Selling
Political correctness has reached a brand new low It has now reached good and evil And has changed things down below The devil is still the devil, That much has not changed But, the food is all organic And the meat is all free range I didn't know the changes 'till I made a plea last week To sell my soul for increased wealth And other things I seek I expected a commotion When the devil came from hell But, there was nothing quite so flashy When someone...rang my bell I answered thinking nothing much I looked outside to check I am wary of the Mormons and Jehovahs on my deck I looked outside and there I saw A man dressed all in grey A poll taker, election geek Let's see what he may say "Good day, kind sir, I come to you" "You wanted to be rich" I thought he isn't from no bank of mine He said "Sir, just call me Mitch" "Mitch", I said, "I don't know how" "you'd know I want to sell my soul" He told me that was why he's here To get a deal done was his goal I said, "why use the door bell" "Why not the cloud of smoke" He said "with budget cuts' "Pyrotechnics made us   broke" "The PC folks got wind of us" "of our tricks and double speak" "Now, you sign away your soul to us" "but, you can get out within the week" "We can't go by the same old name" "Hell is not allowed" "We're H...E...double hockey sticks" "Try saying that aloud" "It doesn't have the forcefulness" "That the other word once had" "we can call it heck, if we're in a pinch" "You can see, it's got quite sad" "The contracts are all readable" "You don't have to sign in blood" "With *** and STD's" "It may as well be mud" "A soul still has some meaning" "But, as you yourself can see" "The devil stays at home now" "And sends his minions out...like me" "I have a small brochure for you" "You have choices, please pick six" "It's more a club, a health resort" "In H...E...double sticks" "I can't get out, I'm stuck for good" "I signed my deal before" "The PC people got us good" "And now...we use the door" "Please look over the contract" "Take your time, and read it close" "You'll find it is a real good read" "With language, non verbose" "If you should have some questions" "change your mind,  or want to tour" "Just call me on my cell phone "I'm at star66 extension 4" "I'm sure you'll still come down to us" "It's not so bad, you'll see" "Just call me when you're ready" "You've got time, now we're PC"
