ginger, ginger, against the wall -
who is the palest of them all?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
a population of only two percent
MC1R is what gives us our fiery power
and with our red we are content
even if we need sunblock on the hour
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
so what if some call us carrot top
and countless other names
we’re proud of our hair that makes us pop
and we’re ready to set the world aflame
