about

Everybody kept telling me the track needed to be faster. So faster it is. I added some background vocals and a guitar solo too. OY!

lyrics

He's dead inside - aint got no will
his sense of self comes from a pill
his potential is weak at best
according to that standardized test

He's a problem child -
Daddy works way too much
Mom's in the wine
she's such a lush
he craves affection but he gets a car
its one a.m. do you know where your kids are?
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
But the problem is you!

He goes to school but sleepwalks the entire day
cracks morbid jokes much to his friends dismay
day after day he takes all their crap
sooner or later he's gonna snap

He's a problem child -
Daddy works way too much
Mom's in the gin
she's such a lush
he craves affection but he gets a car
its one a.m. do you know where your kids are?
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child

But the problem is you!
You wonder why they're getting high
and acting the fool
you blame tv, lsd and even the school

spoken: maybe you should blame yourselves. quit knocking out carbon copies for your ego's sake unless you have the time and resources to raise a child. Its common sense.

he's the poster child for the varsity
another victim of these atrocities
the expectation is always be first
daily injections until his brain bursts

He's a problem child -
Daddy works way too much
Mom's popping pills
she's a major lush
he craves affection but he gets a car
its one a.m. do you know where your kids are?
Woah! problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
Woah! He's a problem child
But the problem is you!
