Profiling 101
PROFILING 101
Mama and Daddy are separated
They're talking about getting a divorce
I wish they had stayed together
But things just kept getting worse
Daddy moved to another town
Mama stayed at home
There's no real joy in my life
I feel so all alone
I get to see Daddy once a month
For only a day or two
We really get along okay
But there isn't much to do
I go back home to Mama
But she's not aware I'm there
She seems to cry an awful lot
It's more than I can bear
Now here we are in lock-up
Because of all the pain
I only wanted the three of us
To be together again
The fire destroyed everything
Except me, and Mom or Dad
Now the police are trying to determine
Which of us could be so bad
I say, I don't remember
How the fire began
That's my only defense...so
Where do Mama and Daddy stand?
