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


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


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

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 my self
I dare not trust myself
So I trust in someone else


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
