Prejudice

Am
In our modern free spoken society
            G
There is a word that we still hold 
taboo
   F                             
A word with a terrible history of 
        E
being used to abuse oppress and 
subdue
Am                                
Just six seemingly harmless 
     G
letters arranged in a way that will 
form a word
            F                      
With more power than the pieces of 
                 E
metal that are forged to make swords
            F               G     
A couple of G's an R and an E an I
       Am
 and an N

                  F                
Just six little letters all jumbled
    G                   E
 together have caused damage that we
 may never mend
Am                           
And it's important that we all 
               G
respect that if these people should 
happen to choose to
F                              
Reclaim the word as their own it 
           E
doesn't mean the rest of you have a 
right to it's use
Am                           G
So never under estimate the power 
that language imparts

F                              
Sticks and stones may break your 
             E
bones but words can break hearts
                 F              
A couple of G's; geez unless you 
have had to live it, an R and an E; 
  G
even I am careful with it
            Am                     
An I and an aNd in the end it will 
 G                 F
only offend don't want to have to 
spell
        E
it out again

Am G F E G Am x2

Only a ginger can call another 
            F     E  G

So listen to me if you care for your
 health
     G                           
You wont call me ginger less your 
   E
ginger yourself
Am            G

Am                              G
When you are a ginger life is pretty
 hard
F                             
Years of ritual bullying in the 
    E
school yard
Am                          G
Kids calling you ranga and fanta 
pants
F                     E
No invitation to the high school 
dance
         Am                     
But you get up and learn to hold 
       G
your head up
     F                           
You try to keep your cool and not 
      E
get het up
     Am                        
But until the feeling of ill is 
        G
truly let up
         F                      E
Then the word is ours and ours alone
 don't you know
