In reply to: Gary L. Atwater 's message, "Re: lyrics to "Carefully Taught" from season finale" on 17:31:10 06/19/02 Wed

"You've Got to be Taught" from the musical "South Pacific" by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein:

You've got to be taught to hate and 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,
and 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 six or seven or eight,
to hate all the people you relatives hate---
you've got be carefully taught!"
---You've Got to be Taught, from South Pacific
