Prejudice Lyrics

Cover art for Prejudice lyrics by Tim Minchin

Apparently 20% of people who hear this song for the first time don't realise that ginger is an anagram of n*****. Maybe they're not paying attention. I can't help wondering if the fact that Minchin was horribly and unfairly accused of being a racist (which I am certain he isn't) when he performed his song "If You Really Loved Me" in which he had used the N word. He's changed the lyrics in that song now. You've got to admit that the irony of getting upset about six little letters is so beautifully illustrated here.

My Interpretation

It does not suprise me that people took this song at face value. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence would have recognised that this song wasn't what it seemed.
