lyrics

unwanted girls
compared with industrial countries
such as most of Europe and the US
more girls than boys die between the ages of one and four years
in the developing world
in Asia and the Middle East
more male children than female are immunised and treated by hospitals

so

many more girls than boys die from measles diarrhoea and respiratory infections

the only development offered a girl is marriage
as early as possible to get her off the family feeding bill

although age at marriage has increased slightly
it is still estimated that of girls aged 15
nearly one in five in Asia is married
one in six in Africa
and one in ten in Latin America

education for girls in many developing countries is pitiful
of more than 100 million children with no access even to primary education
more than 60 million are girls
and of the world's one billion adults who can't read or write
two-thirds are women

unwanted girls
all over Asia the Middle East and in much of Africa

God is cruel and nothing is fair
oh God is cruel now I hear these words as love's refrain
oooooohhhh oooooohhhhh ohhh

everything is under control
