Mama's little baby is nothing but a consumer
Never making a profit
Rendering empty pockets
Mama's little baby is trendy on the rumor
Buying, never investing
While they're busy in market testing

On your town look around it's the first of the month
US economy will get its usual jump
We're creatures of habit, modern slaves
Guaranteed to spend it all in just one place

Mama's little baby is a dancer and a crooner
Making dough for the man
Whipping that big black buck again

Oh and every time we buy into this criminal society
We whip that big black buck again and bring him down to his knees
They're waiting 'round the auction block, they jack so hard to see
The consistency of my sperm, breeding a monopoly yes they did
Breeding a monopoly

Mama's little babies are pawns protecting the bishop
Taking fish, never learning, that they're keeping this whole thing turning
If Mama's little baby didn't buy or sell on the sabbath
Don't you know what would happen, some economy backbone snappin'
Can't you see illuminating waging quiet war
Put the blood upon the lentil and the post of your door
We're waiting for new world order to come
Baby can't you see its here and almost gone

Mama's little baby is the backbone of that order
And no not kinda sorta making dough for the man
Whipping that big black buck again

[Repeat: x2]
Oh and every time we buy into this criminal society
We whip that big black buck again and bring him down to his knees
They're waiting 'round the auction block, they're jack so hard to see
The consistency of my sperm, breeding a monopoly yes they did
Breeding a monopoly yes they did, here I'm is

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
