This is a song about prejudice and the language of prejudice. And the power of the language of prejudice. It's called "Prejudice".

In our modern free spoken society there is a word that we still hold taboo.
A word with a terrible history of being used to abuse, oppress and subdue.
Just six seemingly harmless letters arranged in a way that will form a word with more power than the pieces of metal that are forged to make swords <pronounced wrongly>.
A couple of 'g's, an 'r' and an 'e', an 'i' and an 'n'.
Just six little letters all jumbled together that cause damage that we can never mend.
And it's important that we all respect that if these people should happen to reclaim this word as their own it doesn't mean the rest of you have the right to adduce .
Never underestimate the power that language imparts.
Sticks and stones can break your bones but words can break your heart.

Just six little letters all jumbled together and cause damage that we may never mend
And it's important that we all respect
That if these people should happen to choose
To reclaim the word as their own
It doesn't mean the rest of you have a right to its use
So never underestimate the power that language imparts
Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can break hearts

A couple of Gs, jeez, unless you've had to live it
An R and an E, even I am careful with it
An I and an N, in the end, it will only offend
Don't wanna have to spell it out again

Yeah.
Only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger"
Only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger"
So listen to me if you care for your health
You won't call me "ginger" 'less [unless] you're ginger yourself
Only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger"

Yep
When you are a ginger, life is pretty hard
Years of ritual bullying in the school yard
Kids calling you "Ranga" and "Fanta Pants"
No invitation to the high school dance
But you get up and learned to hold your head up
You try to keep your cool and not get het up
But until the feeling of ill is truly let up
And the word is ours and ours alone

Don'tcha [don't you] know that
Only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger"
Yes, only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger" (using a 'hard g' pronunciation)
So, if you call us "ginge " we just might come unhinged
If you don’t have a fringe with at least a tinge of the ginge in it
Only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger"

Now listen to me, we're not looking for sympathy
Just because we're sensitive to UV
Just 'cause we're pathetically pale
We do all right with the females

Yeah, I like to ask the ladies 'round for ginger beer
And soon they're running their fingers through my ginger beard
And dunkin' my ginger nuts into their ginger tea
And asking, can they call me "Ginge"?
And I say, "Are you—, I don't think that's appropriate!"

'Cause only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger"
Yeah, and all the ladies, they agree it's a fact
Once you've gone ginge, you can't go back
Only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger"
Yeah, go ginge! Go you funky mother fffffuckin' ginge

Yeah, you can call us "Bozo" or "Fire Truck"
You can even call us "Carrot-top" or "Bloodnut"
Yeah, you can call us "Matchstick" or "Tampon"
But fuckin' with the G-word is just not on

If you're a ginger-phobe and you don't like us
We will stand up to the fight if you want to fight us
But if you cut yourself, you might catch gingivitis
So maybe you should shut your funky mouth

Yeah, only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger"
Yeah, only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger"

So if you call us 'ginge ' you can't whinge if you're injured
If you don't have a tinge of the ginge in your minge

Only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger"
And you know my kids will always be clothed and fed
'Cause papa's gonna be bringing home the gingerbread
And they'll be pretty smart, because they'll be well-read
And by "read" I mean read and the other kind of red—
--it's a homophone

Only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger"
Yeah, only a ginger can call another ginger "ginger"
Just like, only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja
Yeah, only a ginger, only a ginger, only a ginger
Yeah, are you listening?
I'm not pointing a finger
I'm just having a singer
I am just reminding you
That only a ginger can call another ginger, "ginger"
