The Vendetta (Still Helpless)

(album: Heads Or Tales - 1983)

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)
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus]
Somehow somethings' changed around the house
It suddenly seems so calm
Now what are we supposed to do
With all of this new found freedom
[Chorus]
