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

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
