This is a song about prejudice
And the language of prejudice
And the power of the language of... prejudice
It's called
Prejudice
A minorAm
In our modern free spoken society
G+G
There is a word that we still hold taboo
E MajorE
A augmentedA word with a terrible history of being used to abuse oppress and subdue
G+G
Just six seemingly harmless letters arranged in a way that will form a word
E MajorE
With more power than the pieces of metal that are forged to make swords
A minorAm
A augmentedA couple of G's an R and an E MajorE an I and an N
E MajorE
Just six little letters all jumbled together have caused damage that we may never mend
G+G
And it's important that we all respect that if these people should happen to choose to
E MajorE
Reclaim the word as their own it doesn't mean the rest of you have a right to it's use
G+G
So never under estimate the power that language imparts
E MajorE
Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can break hearts
G+G
A augmentedA couple of G's; geez unless you have had to live it, an R and an E; even I am careful with it
FF
An I and an aNd in the end it will only offend don't want to have to spell
E MajorE
it out again
A minorAm x2
Yeah
G+G
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
G+G
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
FF
So listen to me if you care for your health
E MajorE
You wont call me ginger less your ginger yourself
G+G
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
G+G
When you are a ginger life is pretty hard
E MajorE
Years of ritual bullying in the school yard
G+G
Kids calling you ranga and fanta pants
E MajorE
No invitation to the high school dance
G+G
But you get up and learn to hold your head up
E MajorE
You try to keep your cool and not get het up
G+G
But until the feeling of ill is truly let up
E MajorE
Then the word is ours and ours alone don't you know
*The rest of the song is the same chord progression*
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
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 are sensitive to UV
Just because we're pathetically pale
We do alright 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 dunking my ginger nuts into their ginger tea
And asking if they can call me ginge
And I say I don't think that's appropriate
Cus only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
Only a ginga can call another ginga ginga
And all the ladies 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 ginge
Yeah funky ginge mofo
Yeah you can call us bozo or fire truck
You can even call us carrot top or blood nut
Yeah you can call us match stick or tampon
But f**king with the G+G word is just not on
If you're a ginger bowl and you don't like us
You gonna stand up to the fight if you want to fight us
But if you cut yourself you might catch gingervitus
So maybe you should shut your funky mouth
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger
So if you call us ginge you can't winge if your injured
If you don't have a tinge of the ginge in your minge
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger yeah
And you know my kids will always be clothed and fed
Cus papa's going to be bringing home the ginger bread
And they'll be pretty smart because they'll be well read
And by read I mean read and the other kind of red wooo
Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger wooo
Only a ginga can call another ginga ginga
Just like only a ninja can sneak up on another ninja
Yeah only a ginger only a ginger only a ginger yeah
Are you listen-inga I'm not pointing the finga
I'm just having a singa
I'm just right in yeah
But only a ginger can call another ginger
