Superhuman Songtext
von Iliza Shlesinger

And the only time that women are naturally, exceptionally physically

Strong is when it comes to childbirth. And that′s amazing. Yes. It'd

Be amazing if those were all men with like, really high-pitched

Voices. It′s an amazing amount of superhuman strength that, unfairly

Women only get to tap into when they're having a baby. You only get


To tap into that superhuman strength once, maybe twice a year, but
That second baby's gonna be very tiny. You only get to use it then
That′s a disproportionate amount of strength. Mother Nature′s playing
A cruel joke on us. Do you know how many pounds of pressure per
Square snooch inch it takes to deliver a baby? We're not even using
Our hands. You′re like, python-like, digesting a goat. Just like, "
Get out of there." Using fucking grit and rage and like, a mother's
Love, but just, "Ah! Sparta!" And just fucking going. You can do that
With your body. Yet, the rest of the year, we have trouble not doing
Push-ups on our knees. That doesn′t seem fair. We're only

Exceptionally strong when it comes to children. We have something
Called "mama bear strength." So, that means when your child is
In danger—your child. Someone else′s child, sorry, Junior. Your
Child. Lift that piano off your legs yourself, 'kay? I'm not your
Mama. When your child is in danger, in that moment, through
Adrenaline, you can develop superhuman strength and save that baby
So, if your child is trapped under a car, you can go ahead and
Flip that Buick like an orangutan, like, no problem. Yet, if

You′re a single girl walking alone on a Saturday night and some
Maniac runs at you, what′s your defense? Like, "No, two plus two
Is four." We're millennials. We probably use our phone calculators
