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