LYRIC FOR SALE

By Michael Chambers

There's a girl in the corner softly weeping
Her clothes and her innocence
Are strewn across the floor
Will nobody stand for her will nobody fight
To bring her justice for what happened on this night

The authorities are powerless the government don't care
Even other women say nothing happened here
As they forced themselves upon her
She was unable to resist
She had to simply take it though
She'd yet to taste a kiss

For the sake of diversity she mustn't rock the boat
They can act with impunity for the value of their vote
The media will cover them the world will never know
No-one will believe the child
Or disrupt the status quo

She knows she's not the only one
She knows there's many more
She knows the authorities will label her a whore
No-one is accountable no-one is to blame
Just a girl in the corner who will never be the same

The world is awakening the truth it will be told
Inquiries they will happen and justice can take hold
Punish those responsible there'll be no more loopholes
Expose those who covered up
This stain on all our souls
