And daddy doesn′t understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?
The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
Her mother feels so shocked, father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet sixteen, ain′t that peachy keen
Now it ain't so neat to admit defeat
′Cause there are no reasons
What reasons do you need, oh oh oh oh?
And then the bullhorn crackles and the captain tackles
With the problems and the hows and whys
And he can see no reasons
′Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die, oh oh oh?
And the silicon chip inside her head get switched to overload
And nobodys going to go to school today
She is going to make them stay at home
And Daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown
