Lyrics for Mamma

Woman, am I inhuman? Am I the depot when the train rolls in? Mamma, am I human? Am I the crowbars when the door's kicked in? Woman, am I the children Watching the spacemen from the television? Mamma, am I the caveman? Am I the buffalo? Am I the dried up bones? Mamma, did you leave my brother alone? Mamma, did you leave my brother alone? Mamma, did you leave my brother alone? You didn't leave him alive Mamma, how was he supposed to survive? Woman, am I inhuman? Am I the turbulence under the wingspan? Mamma, am I still Batman? Am I the sirens? Am I the ambulance? Woman, am I too weak then? Shove all the rock salt in lines with the plowman Mamma, am I the snowman? Am I the rainfall And the sky when it's freezing? Mamma, did you leave my brother to die? Mamma, did you leave my brother to die? Mamma, did you leave my brother to die? You didn't leave him alive Mamma, how was he supposed to survive? Without a woman Without a brother Without a sister Without a father Without a mother Oh, my brother How was he supposed to survive? Mamma, how was he supposed to survive? Mamma
