- What, Kurt, you've never heard the song in "South Pacific" called
- "You've Got To Be Taught":
-
- You've got to be taught to be afraid
- Of people whose eyes are oddly made
- And people whose skin is a different shade
- You've got to be carefully taught.
-
- You've got to be before it's too late,
- Before you are six or seven or eight,
- To hate all the people you're relatives hate.
- You've got to be carefully taught.
- You've got to be carefully taught.
-
- etc.
