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
