Blue American: its simple but it says a lot (that's my opinion at least)

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
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 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 a whitey bastard made a bomb
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 back 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
It sounds pretentious, yes its true
I wrote this novel just for you
Just for you
Just for you
