Hey I’ve got a problem with my nationality
I don’t know where I’m from.
I’ve got a problem with the way I talk
Sometimes I feel sorta dumb
Because I try, but cant speak Mandarin or Spanish,
my English isn’t perfect.
I wear ruby slippers
and I eat tortillas with peanut butter and jelly.
I’ve got blisters on my fingers
From too much computer use
it seems to me like flag waving
and fireworks displays
are some kind of modern ruse

Hey I’ve got a problem with my religion
God didnt make much sense
after I took 9th grade bio
he's dead to me?
maybe i shot and buried him myself!
Now I only Know myself
No other thing makes a bit
Of sense
I've made a new philosophy and it
is as straight forward as love thy neighbor
easy to imagine as
eve popping out of adam's
ribcage

Hey I’ve got a problem with my sexuality
It seems I am a slut
Cus the other girls all say so
I just cant help it if I like to strut
Or show off my butt.
The magazines I read feature skinny girls
And I want to look like them
I want big boobs
I want a small waist
And with the utmost haste
I will buy some high healed boots,
A camisole with lace

Hey I’ve got a problem with my race
I’m white… what else is there to say?
I dominate the west, I consume at uproarious rates..
My past is frighteningly dark
but I wasn’t around for it, never studied it.
Today I own the world- but tomorrow I will pay
For all the mistakes that other whites have made.
What does white mean in the context of time?
what is white?
what is fighting what is race rioting?

Hey I’ve got problems
I’m a 21st century kid
I just want to play Mario kart all day
and the generations back
Will get no retribution
For their crimes.
me and other kids
like me
will have to find a solution
amidst this mess
Of environmental hell
Of oil wars,
Consumerism.

if anyone can tell
me what to do
I’d gladly to do their bidding
These problems are
Bigger than me
And new ones keep spinning
Out of control
have taken a toll
On me and other kids like
Me. Damnit im not the only kid
With problems.
