[Verse]
EmIn our modern free spoken society
There is a wDord that we still hold taboo
A wCord with a terrible history of being uDsed to abuse oppress and subdue
EmJust six seemingly harmless letters arrDanged in a way that will form a word
With more poCwer than the pieces of metal that are foBrged to make swords
A couple of CG's an R and an DE an I and an EmN
Just six little leCtters all jumbled togDether have caused daBmage that we may never mend
EmAnd it's important that we all respect that Dif these people should happen to choose to
CReclaim the word as their own it doesn't mDean the rest of you have a right to it's use
EmSo never under estimate the pDower that language imparts
CSticks and stones may break your bones but wBords can break hearts
A couple of G's; Cgeez unless you have had to live it, an R and an E; eDven I am careful with it
An I and an EmaNd in the end it will oDnly offend don't wCant to have to spell
it out aBgain
