The world's become overly sensitive, that's no lie.
We are afraid to pass comment for fear of outcry.
Wary to justly criticise, to judge or to complain.
Because in this sensitive world, tears fall like rain.

We have to think twice before telling a joke or two.
Even if it's not remotely offensive, racist or blue.
Because it's bound to upset somebody for sure.
Are we forgetting what are chuckle muscles are for?

We scousers take jokes told about us on the chin.
We just give it right  back with a big laugh and a grin.
Sometimes I wish I could simply turn back the clock.
Because now society is too keen to ban and to block.

Certain boundaries exist, of that we should all agree.
But trying to please everyone, doesn't work for me.
As an overly sensitive world we have slowly become.                                          As a result we are losing our sense of mischief and fun.
