Problem Child Lyrics

They're been talking about me on TV

Writing in the magazines

Like broken sirens, hateful violence

Tries to black out the skies

Like a blazing fire on a desert highway

Certain death burns in my way

But I have left the road to find

A new way to survive

I make mothers cry

I make fathers ball up their fists

When I say I have

The right to exist

Now they talk about me

Day and night

I don't wanna start a fight

But I'll finish one, I'm wild

I'm the problem child

When evil chased me out of town

I made my way underground

And I found a family

Who taught me what life was about

We flip our sound from station to station

Where they wanted darkness, there's a constellation

Where they wanted silence, we're screaming loud

A sound they cannot drown out

I make mothers cry

I make fathers ball up their fists

When I say I have

The right to exist

Now they talk about me

Day and night

I don't wanna start a fight

But I'll finish one, I'm wild

I'm the problem child

So where this letter finds you

Know your mind and heart are true

Leave their hatefulness behind you

Even if you can't yet escape

Pack a bag if you must, learn who you can trust

Mark the numbers where you can reach them

Steel yourself, you're stronger than you think

I make mothers cry

I make fathers ball up their fists

When I say I have

The right to exist

Now they talk about me

Day and night

I don't wanna start a fight

But I'll finish one, I'm wild

I'm the problem child
