Placebo - Blue American (live @ MCM Cafe)

I wrote this novel just for you It sounds pretentious But it's true I wrote this novel just for you That's why it's vulgar That's why it's blue And I say Thank you I say thank you I wrote this novel just for mom For all the mommy things she's done For all the times she showed me wrong For all the time she sang God's song And I say Thank you, mom Hello, mom Thank you, mom Hi, mom I read a book about Uncle Tom Where a whitey bastard made a bomb But now Ebonics rule our song Those motherfuckers got it wrong And I ask Who is Uncle Tom? Who is Uncle Tom? Who is Uncle Tom? You are I read a book about the self Said I should get expensive help Go fix my head Create some wealth Put my neurosis on the shelf But I don't care for myself I don't care for myself I don't care for myself I don't care I wrote this novel just for you I'm so pretentious Yes, it's true I wrote this novel just for you Just for you Just for you
