Hush, little girl
it will be alright
I'm here for you

for as long as you like
I can see your body
is bloodied and bruised

He doesn't care for you like I do
When he's around
no sound fills the room

If you scream and shout
it will be your doom
Don't worry little girl

Your sister's right here
Our daddy's in jail
He will rot for years
