| [00:04.48] |
This a song about prejudice |
| [00:09.91] |
The language of prejudice |
| [00:14.89] |
And the power of the language of prejudice |
| [00:25.88] |
It's called PREJUDICE! |
| [00:37.56] |
In our modern free-spoken society |
| [00:41.90] |
There is a word that we still hold taboo |
| [00:46.58] |
A word with a terrible history |
| [00:49.41] |
Of being used to abuse, oppress and subdue |
| [00:54.79] |
Just six seemingly harmless letters |
| [00:57.98] |
Arranged in a way that will form a word |
| [01:01.22] |
With more power than the pieces of metal |
| [01:04.61] |
That are forged to make swords |
| [01:09.90] |
A couple of Gs, an R and an E, an I and an N |
| [01:22.35] |
Just six little letters all jumbled together |
| [01:26.28] |
Have caused damage that we may never mend |
| [01:30.81] |
And it's important that we all respect |
| [01:33.95] |
That if these people should happen to choose |
| [01:37.18] |
To reclaim the word as their own |
| [01:40.12] |
It doesn't meant the rest of you have a right to it's use |
| [01:43.90] |
So never under estimate |
| [01:48.23] |
The power that language imparts |
| [01:51.07] |
Sticks and stones may break your bones |
| [01:54.51] |
But words can break hearts |
| [01:58.13] |
A couple of Gs - jeez unless you've had to live it |
| [02:01.72] |
An R and an E - even I am careful with it |
| [02:05.20] |
An I and an N - and in the end it will only offend |
| [02:09.28] |
Don't want to have to spell it out again... |
| [02:23.34] |
Yeah←_← |
| [02:29.22] |
Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger |
| [02:35.29] |
Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger |
| [02:41.17] |
So listen to me if you care for your health |
| [02:44.11] |
You won't call me ginger 'less you're ginger yourself |
| [02:47.25] |
Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger |
| [02:53.27] |
When you are a ginger life is pretty hard |
| [02:56.36] |
Years of ritual bullying in the school yard |
| [02:59.42] |
Kids calling you Ranga and Fanta Pants |
| [03:02.78] |
No invitation to the high school dance |
| [03:05.62] |
But you get up and learn to hold your head up |
| [03:08.80] |
You try to keep your cool and not get het up |
| [03:11.59] |
But until the feeling of I'll is truly let up |
| [03:14.81] |
Then the word is ours and ours alone |
| [03:17.00] |
Don't you know that... |
| [03:18.14] |
Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger |
| [03:24.22] |
Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger |
| [03:30.35] |
So if you call us ginge we just might come unhinged |
| [03:33.24] |
If you don't have a fringe with at least a tinge of the ginge in it |
| [03:36.72] |
Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger |
| [03:42.80] |
Now listen to me, we're not looking for sympathy |
| [03:45.73] |
Just because we're sensitive to UV |
| [03:49.33] |
Just 'cause we're pathetically pale |
| [03:52.27] |
We do alright with the females |
| [03:55.20] |
Yeah I like to ask the ladies 'round for ginger beer |
| [03:58.49] |
And soon they're running their fingers through my ginger beard |
| [04:01.48] |
And dunking my ginger nuts into their ginger tea |
| [04:04.52] |
And asking if they can call me ginge |
| [04:06.48] |
And I say, "I don't think that's appropriate!" |
| [04:09.42] |
Cos only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger |
| [04:15.34] |
Only a ginga can call another ginga, ginga |
| [04:21.42] |
And all the ladies, they agree it's a fact |
| [04:24.47] |
Once you've gone ginge, she can't go back |
| [04:27.89] |
Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger |
| [04:31.97] |
Yeah go ginge, go you funky ginge |
| [04:37.20] |
Yeah, funky ginger mofo |
| [04:46.70] |
Yeah, you can call us bozo or fire truck |
| [04:50.93] |
You can even call us carrot top of blood nut |
| [04:54.96] |
Yeah, you can call us match stick or tampon |
| [04:58.72] |
tampon |
| [05:03.37] |
But ****ing with the G-word is just not on |
| [05:06.53] |
If you're a ginger-phobe and you don't like us |
| [05:09.67] |
We will stand up to the fight if you want to fight us |
| [05:12.40] |
But if you cut yourself you might catch gingivitis |
| [05:15.70] |
So maybe you should shut your funky mouth |
| [05:19.08] |
Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger |
| [05:25.25] |
Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger |
| [05:31.18] |
So if you call us ginge you can't whinge if your injured |
| [05:34.00] |
If you don't have a tinge of the ginge in your minge |
| [05:37.95] |
Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger |
| [05:43.49] |
And you know my kids will always be clothed and fed |
| [05:46.83] |
Cos Papa's gonna be bringing home the gingerbread |
| [05:49.82] |
And they'll be pretty smart because they'll be well-read |
| [05:52.75] |
And by "read" “ |
| [05:53.63] |
I mean "read" and the other kind of "red", woo! |
| [05:56.38] |
Only a ginger can call another ginger, ginger |
| [06:02.45] |
Only a ginga can call another ginga, ginga |
| [06:08.27] |
Just like only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja |
| [06:14.49] |
Yeah, only a ginger, only a ginger, only a ginger, yeah |
| [06:19.85] |
Are you all listening-a |
| [06:21.54] |
I'm not pointing the finger |
| [06:22.83] |
I just happen to sing-a |
| [06:24.28] |
I'm just remindin' ya |
| [06:28.51] |
That only a ginger can call another ginger... |
| [06:32.51] |
Ginger |
