I´m up each day
At the crack of dawn
Primed for the first inspection
He´s running the home and the family
Like a military installation
(This can´t be right)
(I feel so helpless)
I can´t do this and I can´t do that
I dare not make a move
Without his orders
No matter how well I do what I do
It´s never good enough,
(not for him)
Helpless I feel so helpless
Helpless I don´t like to be so helpless
I don´t wish to feel in my own home
Some kind of prisoner
There must be a way to put a stop
To his violent behavior
Helpless I feel so helpless
Helpless I don´t like to be so helpless
Somehow something´s changed around the house
It suddenly seems so calm
How what are we supposed to do
With all of this new found freedom
Helpless I feel so helpless
Helpless I don´t like to be so helpless
