4 CHILD BRIDE 7:37 / Skinny Alley : Songs From The Moony Boom

SHE KNOWS THAT SHE'S CEASED TO BE
WHO SHE WAS WHEN SHE WAS FREE
NOW SHE'S TRAPPED BY BRUTAL DESTINY
ALL SHE FEELS IS ANGUISH, AGONY
SHE THINKS OF HER WEDDING NIGHT
HE COMES IN DRUNK AND TRIES
TO SET HER ALIGHT
SHE HAS NO RECOURSE BUT TO TAKE THE KNIFE
SHE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE HIS LIFE

ONLY FIFTEEN AND SHE'S LOCKED INSIDE
BEWILDERED AND SO TERRIFIED
SHE CANT RUN AND SHE CANT HIDE, CHILD BRIDE

I PUT THE MAGAZINE DOWN IN DARK DESPAIR
AND THINK OF GIRLS LIKE HER EVERYWHERE
EACH LIVING HER OWN VERSION OF A NIGHTMARE
THAT'S TOO MUCH TO BEAR, TOO MUCH TOO BEAR

THOUSANDS OF YOUNG GIRLS WHO ARE TIED
AND TORTURED AND SO TERRORISED
VIOLATED, VICTIMISED, CHILD BRIDE

IT SHAMES ME THAT WE LET THIS CONTINUE
SURELY THERE MUST BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO

HOW THEY'RE TRAPPED BY BRUTAL DESTINY
ALL THEY FEEL IS ANGUISH, AGONY

THOUSANDS OF YOUNG GIRLS WHO ARE TIED
AND TORTURED AND SO TERRORISED
VIOLATED, VICTIMISED, CHILD BRIDE
