Song about a minor celebrity I've known since childhood, who I've 'rescued' numerous times - often from his own foolishness. He became 'woke' and had a number of run-ins with the media over several different issues. The song came as a result of a coversation about him wanting to take yet another self-improvement course.

The more you shut me up, the more I'm gonna say. I'll use my language my own way
You're pointin' your finger to call me out But you really don't know what I'm about
You're actin' all hurt & justified - gotta tell you your teachers lied
Out n' out woke & Politically correct - It's what got us into this mess
Take another course to find yourself, another band-aid for your mental health
The guru army's been deployed to find the self-knowledge you avoid.
It's been right there since you were a child and though you never knew
The more enlightened you become, the less there is of you
Tell the local vicar, tell your uncle John. Shout it from the platforms that you lurk on
No-one will listen. No-one cares. Not interested in your life - only theirs.
Don't look to me to rescue you - some way to set you free.
cos I can't help and it's all the same to me
I'm careful with my words - not enough for you. an' I don't know what you've been through
You lay all the blame right at my door. But I'm not sure what you're fightin' for.
We used to rub along, that's not in doubt, it's not my fault that you came out
I'm still the same guy that I used to be but all of a sudden you're messin' with me
I've seen the lurid stories in the press an' it's no surprise that you're a mess
but you poked the beast and it awoke so don't be shocked if it got you by the throat.
It's been right there since you were a child and though you never knew
The more enlightened you become, the less there is of you
Tell the local vicar, tell your uncle John. Shout it from the platforms that you lurk on
No-one will listen. No-one cares. Not interested in your life - only theirs.
Don't look to me to rescue you - some way to set you free.
'cos I can't help & it's all the same, said I can't help & it's all the same
No I can't help & it's all the same to me
No I can't help & it's all the same to me
