problematic - bo burnham lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i grew up as your usual suburbanite
a tiny town in massachusetts, overwhelmingly white
i went to church on sundays in a suit and a tie
then spent my free time watching family guy
i started doing comedy when i was just a sheltered kid
i wrote offensive sh*t
and i said it

[pre*chorus]
father, please forgive me
for i did not realize what i did
or that i’d live to regret it

[chorus]
times are changing and i’m getting old
are you gonna hold me accountable?
my bed is empty and i’m getting cold
isn’t anybody gonna hold me accountable?

[post*chorus]
uh
i’m problematic
he’s a problem

[verse 2]
when i was 17, on halloween
i dressed up as aladdin (he’s a problem)
i did not darken my skin
but still, it feels weird in hindsight
[interlude]
(instrumental)

[verse 3]
i want to show you how i’m growing as a person, but first
i feel i must address the lyrics from the previous verse
i tried to hide behind my childhood and that’s not okay
my actions are my own, i won’t explain them away
i’ve done a lot of self*reflecting since i started singing this song
i was totally wrong when i said it

[pre*chorus]
father, please forgive me
for i did not realize what i did
or that i’d live to regret it

[chorus]
times are changing and i’m getting old
are you gonna hold me accountable?
my bed is empty and i’m getting cold
isn’t anybody gonna hold me accountable?

[post*chorus]
uh
i’m problematic
he’s a problem
[verse 4]
i just remembered that aladdin costume’s
in my mother’s attic (he’s a problem)
i’m gonna go home and burn it…
or not burn it. is burning it bad?
what should i do with it?

[bridge]
and i’ve been totally awful
my closet is chock*full of stuff
that is vaguely sh*tty
all of it was perfectly lawful
just not very thoughtful at all
and just really sh*tty

and i’ve been totally awful
my closet is chock*full of stuff
that is vaguely sh*tty
all of it was perfectly lawful
just not very thoughtful at all
and just really

[outro]
and i’m really f*cking sorry
b*tch, i’m trying to listen
sh*t, i’ve been complicit
sorry
if i’m gonna catch up
first, i gotta fess up
sorry
sorry
