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 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

Placebo è una band britannica di rock alternativo formatasi a Londra nel 1994. Il gruppo è noto per il suo sound dark e atmosferico, influenzato da generi come il post-punk, l'indie rock e la musica elettronica. Il frontman Brian Molko, con il suo look androggino e le sue performance teatrali, è un elemento distintivo del gruppo. Le loro canzoni spesso esplorano temi di amore, perdita, dipendenza e identità, spesso attraverso testi introspettivi e melodie orecchiabili. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Pure Morning", "Black Hole Sun" (cover dei Soundgarden) e "Every You Every Me". Placebo ha pubblicato nove album in studio, tra cui l'acclamato "Without Shoes" del 2003. La band è stata un punto di riferimento per la scena musicale britannica degli anni '90 e 2000, influenzando numerose altre band alternative.
