Kmfdm - The Problem lyrics

There was a hearing. The rules were broken by one, followed by another. The evidence was presented, an overwhelming list of infractions. An overwhelming re-presentation Of his maladjustment to the system The hearing was about him, about his attitude, about his behavior. He is, he represents (No) He implies the problem If he is expelled, the problem will go away Responsibility, relationship, mutuality, absolution. A person with a problem, I believe there's no such thing As a person with a problem. If there is a problem it's a problem with the system. The system of home and family, of school and community. He is not in this alone. He is not the problem. A refelction of the system. A mirror image of ourselves, and our work. We acknowledge not all kids fit our ancillary desires And when they don't fit, they become the problem Expell the problem, make it go away.
