[ar:Tim Minchin]
[al:ready for this]
[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
