You've got to be taught
To hate & fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
& people whose skin is a different shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught before it's too late,
Before you are 6 or 7 or 8,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully taught!
Oscar Hammerstein II
1949
We must be having a cosmic connection today, Stephen.
ReplyDeleteI wake up every day with a song in my head and more often than not it's something I haven't heard recently.
This morning it was this very song, and then I stop in here and you've posted it.
Crazy, I tell ya, crazy!
Stephen, how did an old theater queen like myself miss those lyrics.

Does the topic has to do with your profesыional sphere or perhaps is it mostly about your leisure and free time?
