Tim Minchin | "Prejudice" | w/ Lyrics

“Prejudice“ by Tim Minchin. *ALL RIGHTS TO TIM MINCHIN. Lyrics: This is a song about prejudice And the language of prejudice And the power of the language of prejudice It’s called “Prejudice“ 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 Gs, 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 meant 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 B
