about

Jed:
This is a warning to anybody thinking about slinking out of the woodwork should I ever "make it" in the classic sense, as unlikely as that may be. Any female from the past who expects me to be nicer to her than she was to me had better be prepared to offer a conciliatory blowjob. And that goes double for the guys.

lyrics

Don't call me your native son
I never lived in this town.
I wasn't alive 'til I left this place behind.

Don't clap me on my back
Don't try to shake my hand
Don't act like you knew it all along.

Everything I did, I did without you
Everything I love is far from here
Everything you think you know is small-town wrong
Do not call me your native son.

Don't call me your ex-boyfriend
You never even called me back.
You told me yourself that we were only friends.

Don't call me your old buddy
Your car was always full
Your table had no seat for me.

Everything I did, I did without you
Everything I love is far from here
Everything you think you know is small-town wrong
Do not call me your native son.

Don't call me your native son
You never took me in.
You snickered when my back was turned.

You never held me to you
You never dried my tears
That's how you love your native son.

Everything I did, I did without you
Everything I love is far from here
Everything you think you know is small-town wrong
Do not call me your native son.
