\r\n(Sung to the tune of American Pie<\/i>)<\/p>
\r\nIt was not very long ago
\r\nI wish I could forget it now
\r\nAn awful burden stole her smile
\r\nShe didn’t really stand a chance
\r\nThere never was a great romance
\r\nA pawn, a victim, hero for a while
\r\n
\r\nDid you dare to think of love
\r\nBefore you felt another shove
\r\nSharia’s latest double blow?
\r\nDo you think this stain upon your soul
\r\nWill help you gain any more control
\r\nDo you think this is the lowest that you can go?
\r\n
\r\nWell the cause celebre<\/i> light goes dim
\r\nWith increasing loss of life and limb
\r\nAnd the latest headline news
\r\nLike a lighted dynamite fuse
\r\nIt was your country’s hope, a stroke of luck
\r\nTo show the world it was not stuck
\r\nBut who knew things would run amok
\r\nAmina Lawal hide
\r\nI started prayin’
\r\n
\r\nChorus
\r\nWhy, why Miss Nigerian Cry
\r\nTried to stone you, then enthrone you but then things went awry
\r\nTried to rescue, but then left you in the blink of an eye
\r\nNigeria’s shame, you’ll bear the blame, why?
\r\n‘Cos Allah says that women must die.
\r\n
\r\nNow girls parade where public views
\r\nCelebrate objects in high heel shoes
\r\nWorld Peace wantons led astray
\r\nThe profane lust of Nigeria’s whore
\r\nThat caused the men to go to war
\r\nA score to settle, so the women will obey
\r\nWhere now feminists, not the pious, scream
\r\nWhere teenagers stoned, rock the English dream
\r\nFrom this nightmare you won’t be woken
\r\nYou miserable little token
\r\nAnd the men who seem to hate you most
\r\nMuhammad, Allah, and abandoned host
\r\nJesus Christ, you’re the holy ghost
\r\nA lowly prophet's bride
\r\nWe stared prayin’
\r\n
\r\nChorus (x2)
\r\n
\r\nWe stared prayin’\r\n
We stared prayin’<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"http:\/\/www.annoy.com\/covers\/doc.html?DocumentID=100437","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/html","summary":"Never before has the objectification of women in beauty pageants brought to home the glaring contradictions and startling similarities as to how women are treated in patriarchic societies, than the eruption of riots in Kaduna, Nigeria.
