Mamma Lyrics by Ryan Adams

Wednesdays

2020

[Verse 1]
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?

[Pre-Chorus]
Mamma, am I the caveman?
Am I the buffalo?
Am I the dried up bones?

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
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 than
Shovels and rock salt in line with the plowman

[Pre-Chorus]
Mamma, am I the snowman?
Am I the rainfall
And the sky when it's freezing?

[Chorus]
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?

[Outro]
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
