This is a song about prejudice And the language of prejudice And the power of the language of... prejudice It's called Prejudice A5 In our modern free spoken society G5 There is a word that we still hold taboo F5 E5 A word with a terrible history of being used to abuse oppress and subdue A5 G5 Just six seemingly harmless letters arranged in a way that will form a word F5 E5 With more power than the pieces of metal that are forged to make swords F5 G5 A5 A couple of G's an R and an E an I and an N F5 G5 E5 Just six little letters all jumbled together have caused damage that we may never mend A5 G5 And it's important that we all respect that if these people should happen to choose to F5 E5 Reclaim the word as their own it doesn't mean the rest of you have a right to it's use A5 G5 So never under estimate the power that language imparts F5 E5 Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can break hearts F5 G5 A couple of G's; geez unless you have had to live it, an R and an E; even I am careful with it A5 G5 F5 An I and an aNd in the end it will only offend don't want to have to spell E5 it out again A5 G5 F5 E5 G5 A5 x2 Yeah A5 G5 F5 E5 G5 Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger A5 G5 F5 E5 G5 Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger F5 So listen to me if you care for your health G5 E5 You wont call me ginger less your ginger yourself A5 G5 F5 E5 G5 Only a ginger can call another ginger ginger A5 G5 When you are a ginger life is pretty hard F5 E5 Years of ritual bullying in the school yard A5 G5 Kids calling you ranga and fanta pants F5 E5 No invitation to the high school dance A5 G5 But you get up and learn to hold your head up F5 E5 You try to keep your cool and not get het up A5 G5 But until the feeling of ill is truly let up F5 E5 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 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 Ginger
