The song is one of several composed by Bananarama at the time which lyrically addressed "serious" topics, in this case societal injustices towards children, poverty, starvation and innocent bystanders who are given "no time to smile before they die".

In this first national, cross-regional study of lynching and criminal justice, Michael J. Pfeifer investigates the pervasive and persistent commitment to "roughjustice" that characterized rural and working class areas of most of the United States in the late nineteenth century.
Defining roughjustice as the harsh, informal, and often communal punishment of perceived criminal behavior, Pfeifer examines the influence of race, gender, and class on understandings of criminal justice and shows how they varied across regions.
He argues that lynching only ended when "roughjustice" enthusiasts compromised with middle-class advocates of due process by revamping the death penalty into an efficient, technocratic, and highly racialized mechanism of retributive justice.
Six months ago, Tegan told me she expected Justice Peter Hidden to deliver a light sentence in her case because the Pakistani brothers who raped her were already serving long sentences for other rapes.
Last Wednesday, I was sitting with Tegan in the front row of court 13A when, after Justice Hidden had departed, she faced her main tormentor, MSK, and told him, "F--- you!" There was plenty of anger in the court.
There must be an appeal against Justice Hidden's sentences or they will make a mockery of Tegan Wagner's calls for women to come forward and trust the same courts that delivered her such rough, slow justice.
