Album: Indigo Girls (1989)

Problem Child

Note: this song was reincarnated as Go

I am a problem child
I've been wild all my days
All my anger and my rage
My senses said that would lead me astray
I said, go, go, go

Raise your hands, raise your hands high
I don't take a seat, I don't stand aside
This time I don't assume anything

Five generations running fast
These things will not pass
This debtor's blood runs in my veins
I can't change anything
I said, no, no, no

Raise your hands, raise your hands high
Don't take a seat, don't stand aside
This time I don't assume anything
I said this time
Don't assume anything
Just go, go, go

So you learned to cry
But you don't know why
So you learned to laugh
But what are we laughing at

I am a problem child
I've been wild all my days
All my anger and my rage
My senses said it would lead me astray
I said, go, go, go
I said, no, no, no
