PROBLEM CHILD

V6

[Intro] You done? Good. My turn. [Verse 1] Everybody has an answer before I open up my mouth. Everybody draws a border— I get bored and walk right out. Keep your neat little instructions. Keep your designated lines. If you already know my limits, why'd you bother wasting mine? ねえ、聞こえる? まだ足りない? 勝手に決めないで。 私は私。 Yeah. Thought so. [Pre-Chorus] One— don't tell me where to stand. Two— get your fingers off the plan. Three— Sag mir nicht, was ich sein soll. Four— too late. I already broke it. [Chorus] I'M YOUR PROBLEM CHILD— too sharp, too loud, too damn alive! Push me down, I come back meaner— watch the voltage multiply! もっと速く! もっと高く! You wanted something you could handle? Should've picked another girl! [Post-Chorus] Problem. Child. Heh-heh Sounds cute. [Verse 2] I can play your little angel. I can smile and nod along. For about— three whole seconds. Then something starts feeling wrong. Maybe rules are decoration. Maybe “no” just needs context. Maybe every locked equation gets more interesting— when wrecked. Ordnung. Regeln. Immer gleich. Wie langweilig. つまらない。 See? We agree. [Pre-Chorus 2] まだ行ける。 Noch einmal. You keeping up? もっと— Stärker— DON'T BLINK! [Chorus 2] I'M YOUR PROBLEM CHILD— clean cut, bad mouth, pretty little warning sign! Every box you try to put me in gets smaller every time. Keine Angst. 怖くない。 Oh, come on— you should be. YOU WANTED FIRE? THEN DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HEAT! [Bridge] You know what the funny part is? I don't actually need to prove anything. But you looked so confident. 静かにして。 今は私の番。 Hör einfach zu. There. No screaming. No tricks. Still uncomfortable? Good. [Build] I can stay down here. Talk right in your ear. もっと上へ— Immer höher— Catch me. Missed. Again. CATCH ME! CATCH ME! [Final Chorus] I'M YOUR PROBLEM CHILD— no leash, no script, no compromise! 止められない! Nicht zu stoppen! Look me dead in the eyes! I can cut clean— I can hit hard— I can turn sweet on a dime— But whatever voice comes out of my mouth— low— mid— high— IT BETTER SOUND LIKE MIIIIINE! [Outro] ... Better. Rain can keep the homework. I'll take detention.
