Clifford T. Ward – A Sad Cliche lyrics

She's causing a commotion,it's a curios 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 doin',
In a place like this.

We're driving 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,
Mentioned in background, and would it not benefit,
All if she went.

She comes from a family, who seem unaware,
We're a nation of Christians, well, with money to share,
And we have the best education system today,
Say what's a nice girl, like you doin',
In a place like this.

WE SIMPLY CANNOT TOLERATE THIS SORT OF BEHAVIOUR
IN OUR COMMUNITY (community, community).
YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE MORE OPPURTUNITIES TODAY
THAN EVER BEFORE, I REALLY.......
YOU HAVE TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON.
YOU DO NOT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND,
WE ARE TRYING TO HELP (to help, 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.
