Clifford T. Ward - A Sad Cliché lyrics

rate me

She's causing a commotion it's a curious thing

Everyone thought she was a delicate thing

And now they're making her learn the hard way

Say, what's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?

They're dragging her through courtrooms with tears on her face

She cries out for help from God in disgrace

But all she gets is the chairman of the bench

Mentioning background, and would it not benefit all if she went . .

INSTRUMENTAL

She comes from a family who seem unaware

That we're a nation of Christians love and money to share

And we have the best education system today

Say, what's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?

"We simply cannot tolerate this sort of behaviour in the community"

"Young people have more opportunities today than ever before, I really think ..."

"You have to be taught a lesson"

"You do not seem to understand, we're trying to help"

"In view of the circumstances we are going to send you to a detention centre

for six months, it is for your own good you understand".
