Verse 1

There's got to be some reason for all this misery

A secret evil corporation somewhere over seas

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've made it out to be

Yeah, there's a problem with the world

And the problem with the world is me

Verse 2

Oh, some will say the devil and his legions

They put us in a headlock of submission

But they've lost all power over me

A long, long time ago

And since I was a kid, you know i've caused alot of hurt

And no one ever taught me to put myself first

It came so very naturally

But i'm not a prodigy

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've made it out to be

Yeah, there's a problem with the world

And the problem with the world is me

Bridge

So I will look no further than the 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

No, I dare not trust myself

So i'll trust in someone else

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've made it out to be

Yeah, there's a problem with the world

And the problem with the world is me

ENDING:

The sooner you can sing along, the sooner you can sing this song

The sooner you can sing along, the sooner you can sing this song

The sooner you can sing along, the sooner you can sing this song

The happier we'll be

The happier we'll be

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
