Blue American lyrics

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 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?

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

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
