Appeal - Lyrics - Your Mother
A maternal insult is a reference to a person's mother through the use of phrases such as "your mother" or other regional variants, frequently used to insult the target by way of their mother. Used as an insult, "your mother..." preys on widespread sentiments of filial piety, making the insult particularly and globally offensive. "Your mother" can be combined with most types of insults, although suggestions of promiscuity are particularly common. Insults based on obesity, incest, age, race, poverty, poor hygiene, unattractiveness, or stupidity may also be used. Compared to other types of insults, "your mother" insults are especially likely to incite violence. Slang variants such as "yo mama", "yo momma", "yer ma", "ya mum", "your mum" or "your mom" are sometimes used, depending on the local dialect. Insults involving "your mother" are commonly used when playing the dozens.

Just got my first real dose of the superstar vitamin in Japan, a foreign land. Playing in a punk rock band. I was a token model American (to them anyway). Signing autographs, one bought me a shot of Absinthe, flashes blinded me, but they're the ones who cannot see. They say our band's the best, but were just like all the rest. We're nothing special, except that we travel. If we were from down the block, I'm sure they would not come flock to see us. Our capitalist culture ($) and liberal ideals (sex) are definitely the appeal, not us. I guess my bottom line is don't waste your time following a country as dumb as mine.
