As the money raised from sales of this song are going to a good cause, we suggest you pay more than $1, whatever you can afford. Thanks. lyrics Oh he calls me a bitch and he calls me a whore Well that’s just his way girl that’s just his way He pushed me down onto the floor Well you probably shouldn’t have got in his way Oh he slapped me around that other night Oh don't be silly girl he wouldn't hurt a fly Can’t you see the fear in my eyes Oh why did you marry him why won’t you leave him One day, will come, liberty But for my children, I would die to be free Well I called out the police one of the worst times They said what can we do love our hands are tied We can arrest you if you go back for more Seems he’s the victim under the law Well the councillor didn’t believe me one bit Said she’d seen the way he played with kids The lawyer dismissed me right out of hand Said I was a liar too stupid to understand Oh I begged the judge but there was no real trial Under the hammer, the fist and the guile The system against me I had no more fight Seems a woman’s place is under men’s rights One day will come liberty But for my children, I would die to be free So back to the pit and back to the cage My mind slowly began to change It was all my fault I was to blame The kids really were better off with him Oh I asked for help one last time My mother said she thought I was lying But the bridge and the brick soon opened my eyes If the kids don’t need me, neither do I. One day will come liberty But for me only death can set me free Yes one day will come liberty Tell each other, we were born to be free
