Mama Aren't You Angry

Mama aren't you
Angry

I grew up in a house filled with nothing
So my mama gave us twice of the loving
Even though my dad was not around
I grew up in a full house

And all our 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

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

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

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

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

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
