The Bobs

The Bobs were dubbed the first New Wave a cappella group in history when they were founded in San Francisco, California in the early 1980s. Now based in Seattle, Washington, this genre-bending, eccentric vocal group has maintained a healthy cult following in the U.S. and Europe in the 29 years they have been touring and recording, winning numerous songwriting and vocal performance honors along the way. more »

I was sensitive before it was in style
But that was never enough
Ever new philosophy that you'd adopt
Seemed to make sense to me too

When we tripped together I thought we were in love
When I saw colors, you saw pigs
Then you took me to the sit-in at the Pentagon
How you opened up my eyes

   You got into knowing yourself
   I got into knowing myself
   Everything I did was
   Everything you did
   I always was one step behind
   In my personal growth

When we pulled the last troops out of Vietnam
I thought you'd have more time for screwing
How could I have been so blind to women's rights and such
There's always so much to be doing

It was so hard for me to give up wearing fur
But in my heart I feel much better
The whales are safe for now, but Nicaragua burns
I just can't share your concern any more

   Just give some attention to me
   The world is O.K., let it be
   Just give some attention to me

Please let me be your third world country

And I'll be:

   You and Jackson Browne can write a song for me
Politically Correct
   Honk if you love me
Politically Correct
   I'll build a wheelchair ramp to your heart
Politically Correct
   I'm an endangered species, so save me
Politically Correct
   I have 70,000 signatures demanding you go home
      with me tonight

Politically Correct
   Take off your hats, this is the climax
