[00:07.040] This a song about prejudice
[00:18.160] The language of prejudice
[00:27.570] And the power of the language of prejudice
[00:39.620] It's called PREJUDICE!
[00:53.020] In our modern free-spoken society
[00:57.300] There is a word that we still hold taboo
[01:02.380] A word with a terrible history
[01:05.270] Of being used to abuse, oppress and subdue
[01:10.450] Just six seemingly harmless letters
[01:14.140] Arranged in a way that will form a word
[01:17.720] With more power than the pieces of metal
[01:20.960] That are forged to make swords
[01:27.140] A couple of Gs, an R and an E, an I and an N
[01:35.400] Just six little letters all jumbled together
[01:39.730] Have caused damage that we may never mend
[01:44.360] And it's important that we all respect
[01:48.040] That if these people should happen to choose
[01:51.120] To reclaim the word as their own
[01:54.460] It doesn't meant the rest of you have a right to it's use
[01:58.490] So never under estimate
[02:03.180] The power that language imparts
[02:06.160] Sticks and stones may break your bones
[02:09.800] But words can break hearts
[02:12.780] A couple of Gs - jeez unless you've had to live it
[02:16.020] An R and an E - even I am careful with it
[02:19.700] An I and an N - and in the end it will only offend
[02:23.690] Don't want to have to spell it out again...
[02:40.980] Yeah
[02:46.600] Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger
[02:52.480] Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger
[02:58.320] So listen to me if you care for your health
[03:01.150] You won't call me ginger 'less you're ginger yourself
[03:04.860] Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger
[03:10.230] When you are a ginger life is pretty hard
[03:13.120] Years of ritual bullying in the school yard
[03:16.260] Kids calling you Ranga and Fanta Pants
[03:19.050] No invitation to the high school dance
[03:22.090] But you get up and learn to hold your head up
[03:24.720] You try to keep your cool and not get het up
[03:27.860] But until the feeling of I'll is truly let up
[03:30.850] Then the word is ours and ours alone
[03:33.000] Don't you know that...
[03:34.050] Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger
[03:40.030] Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger
[03:45.900] So if you call us ginge we just might come unhinged
[03:48.650] If you don't have a fringe with at least a tinge of the ginge in it
[03:51.740] Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger
[03:57.470] Now listen to me, we're not looking for sympathy
[04:00.450] Just because we're sensitive to UV
[04:04.700] Just 'cause we're pathetically pale
[04:08.140] We do alright with the females
[04:11.280] Yeah I like to ask the ladies 'round for ginger beer
[04:14.080] And soon they're running their fingers through my ginger beard
[04:17.070] And dunking my ginger nuts into their ginger tea
[04:21.480] And asking if they can call me ginge
[04:23.270] And I say, "I don't think that's appropriate!"
[04:25.760] Cos only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger
[04:31.550] Only a ginga can call another ginga, ginga
[04:37.370] And all the ladies, they agree it's a fact
[04:40.150] Once you've gone ginge, she can't go back
[04:43.250] Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger
[04:46.170] Yeah go ginge, go you funky ginge
[04:54.070] Yeah, funky ginger mofo
[05:01.590] Yeah, you can call us bozo or fire truck
[05:06.030] You can even call us carrot top of blood nut
[05:10.750] Yeah, you can call us match stick or tampon
[05:14.000] tampon
[05:23.720] But ****ing with the G-word is just not on
[05:26.550] If you're a ginger-phobe and you don't like us
[05:29.340] We will stand up to the fight if you want to fight us
[05:32.130] But if you cut yourself you might catch gingivitis
[05:35.310] So maybe you should shut your funky mouth
[05:38.300] Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger
[05:44.030] Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger
[05:49.660] So if you call us ginge you can't whinge if your injured
[05:52.730] If you don't have a tinge of the ginge in your minge
[05:56.310] Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger
[06:01.490] And you know my kids will always be clothed and fed
[06:04.720] Cos Papa's gonna be bringing home the gingerbread
[06:07.460] And they'll be pretty smart because they'll be well-read
[06:10.460] And by "read" “
[06:11.450] I mean "read" and the other kind of "red", woo!
[06:13.540] Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger
[06:19.210] Only a ginga can call another ginga, ginga
[06:24.590] Just like only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja
[06:31.120] Yeah, only a ginger, only a ginger, only a ginger, yeah
[06:36.370] Are you all listening-a
[06:37.520] I'm not pointing the finger
[06:38.910] I just happen to sing-a
[06:40.400] I'm just remindin' ya
[06:46.130] That only a ginger can call another ginger...
