Mama Aren’t You Angry

[Intro]
Mama, aren't you angry?

[Verse 1]
I grew up in a house filled with nothing
So my mama gave us twice of the love
And even though my dad was not around
I grew up in a full house

[Verse 2]
And all the family pictures were missing
People that were gone with the wind
And even though the sight of them was rare
My mama filled what wasn't there

[Pre-Chorus]
I learned to be tough because that's what she had to be, oh
I thought that not good enough's good enough for me, but

[Chorus]
I want her to be angry
I want her to scream
The world was so unfair to her and her dreams
She kept herself small, not to burst at the seams
I want her to be angry
Mama, aren't you angry?

[Verse 3]
Now that the house's standing empty
The kids have grown up and they left it
Mama looks for hopes that she once lost
When they were nothing but an afterthought

[Pre-Chorus]
She toughened up because that's what she had to learn, oh
She thought that not good enough's good enough for her, but

[Chorus]
I want her to be angry
I want her to scream
The world was so unfair to her and her dreams
She kept herself small, not to burst at the seams
I want her to be angry
Mama, aren't you angry?
I want her to be angry
I want her to scream
The world was so unfair to her and her dreams
She kept herself small, not to burst at the seams
I want her to be angry
I want her to scream
The world was so unfair to her and her dreams
She kept herself small, not to burst at the seams
I want her to be angry
Mama, aren't you angry?
Mama, aren't you angry?
