Freed not arrested
Freed not arrested.
I cared for your daughter and held down the fort, You had so many friends you could'nt sort.
You lashed out striking me, I held you in, to stop thee.
You then cried wolf to police, saying please he hurt me.
For that my arrest was swift and lengthy, But now I see I was'nt arrested I was freed.
I left with nothing and left you all, Now you seek me like all else meant Null.
