Lyrics
The Problem
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's got to be some reason
For all this misery
A secret evil corporation
Somewhere overseas
They're pulling strings
Arranging things
It's a conspiracy
Or what about the ones
Who shape the course of history
What if we petitioned
For one grand apology?
I'll write to my prime minister
You write your president
Chorus:
Everybody's wondering
How the world could get this way
If God is good
And how it could be filled with so much pain
It's not the age-old mystery
We made it out to be
Yeah, there's a problem with the world
And the problem with the world is me
Well, some will say the devil and his legions
They put us in a headlock of submission
But they lost all power over me
A long, long time ago
And since I was a kid
You know I've caused a lot of hurt
And no one ever taught me
How to put myself first
It came so very naturally
But I'm not a prodigy
Repeat Chorus
So I will look no further than a mirror
That's where the offender hides
So great is my need for a redeemer
That I cannot trust myself
No, I cannot trust myself
I dare not trust myself
So I trust in someone else
Repeat Chorus
The sooner you can sing along
The sooner you can sing this song
The happier we'll be
The problem with the world is me
