Blue American Songtext
von Placebo

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 times 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 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
