OUR PROBLEM


Hey!
That old man who you’re honking at 
In that shiny luxury car
Lost two brothers for this country
Earned himself a silver star

That man you’re tailgating 
Has worked hard all his life
Put three kids through college 
Is faithful to his wife

Your little blue-haired lady

Whom you say is so uptight
Has never raised her voice in anger 
And still prays for you at night

~~~*Chorus*~~~
So…
What’s your problem
What’s this all about 
Just crawl back in that hole of yours 
And learn to shut your mouth
Nobody needs you
Or your wasted kind
In fact without you parasites
We’d get along just fine
Keep your ignorance
To yourself
Don’t try to force it
On everyone else
If you can’t be decent
Act like a human being
There is no need for you 
In this society
You’re a waste of skin with issues
And you want the world to solve them
Well…
That’s your problem
~~*~~

Hey Officer!
Why are you treating
That young kid like that
Your gun and badge don’t cover up
The decency you lack

Get your sorry self out there
Sweep the perverts off the street
Instead of acting like the jerk you are
Preying on the weak

Where’s the justice
Do you know what that means
You’re supposed to be a hero
Not some decorated creep

~~~*Chorus*~~~
So…
What’s your problem
What’s this all about 
Just crawl back in that hole of yours 
And learn to shut your mouth
Nobody needs you
Or your wasted kind
In fact without you parasites
We’d get along just fine
Keep your ignorance
To yourself
Don’t try to force it
On everyone else
If you can’t be decent
Act like a human being
There is no need for you 
In this society
You’re a waste of skin with issues
And you want the world to solve them
Well…
That’s your problem
~~*~~

Hey!
Aren’t you a teacher
Isn’t this a school
Is humiliating children
What you’re trained and paid to do

You want to pick on someone
Well how about me
I’ll crush your educated mind
And I’ll do it for free

Hey!
You behind that metal desk
Looking down your nose
Did the state give you a job
Because you’re so shut off and cold

You wear your hatred 
In a smiles place
Contempt and judgment 
Not a sign of grace

Does it make you feel good
To increase their pain
Satisfy your sick mind
Just to cause them shame

~~~*Finale*~~~
I'm disgusted with the system
I know I'm not alone
Can you tell me why
There is nothing being done
It is right in front of you
Open your eyes to see
Get someone into power 
To cease these travesties
So many injustices
Not a soul out there to solve them
That’s our problem
