Woman, am I the human Am I the depot When the train rolls in Mamma, am I the 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 the human 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 rocks all 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
