TTTO Mama Werewolf by Brandi Carlile

Your mama is a werewolf with long sharp teeth We're up all night while the world's asleep We kill a chicken, or hunt a deer And humans too, teaching them to fear When we are hunted we run and hide Strike from the shadows and quash their pride Their iron weapons don't really hurt But silver ones put us in the dirt Yeah those silver ones really hurt! If one night while we are out running wild If they shoot me dead, I ask dear child Avenge your dearest mama, son, For the silver bullet in their gun When I'm out hunting I feel reborn My body twists taking a new form My muscles stronger, my senses keen I yearn to run through air that's clean I wish this life could always be Though humans make "technology" We joy in hunting our game free-range May we carry on, may it never change Though we know it'll always change If one night while we are out running wild If they shoot me dead, I ask dear child Please avenge your dearest mama, son, For the silver bullet in their gun Would you kill them all Right where they stand? Would you rip them up Make them fear again? And avenge your dearest mama, son, For the silver bullet in their gun Howl Howl Howl Howl… (raising twice to replace the "dah"s) If one night while we are out running wild If they shoot me dead, I ask dear child Please avenge your dearest mama, son, For the silver bullet in their gun Would you kill them all Right where they stand? Would you rip them up Make them fear again? And avenge your dearest mama, son, For the silver bullet in their gun
