Bo Burnham – Problematic

Bo Burnham – Problematic Lyrics

Artist: Bo Burnham
Song: Problematic

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
Father, please forgive me

For I did not realize what I did
Or that I’d live to regret it
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?

I’m problematic
He’s a problem
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
I want to show you

How I’m growing as a person, but first
I feel I must address the lyrics
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
Father, please forgive me
For I did not realize what I did
Or that I’d live to regret it

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?
I’m problematic
He’s a problem

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?
And I’ve been totally awful
My closet is chock-full of stuff

That is vaguely shitty
All of it was perfectly lawful
Just not very thoughtful at all
And just really shitty

And I’ve been totally awful
My closet is chock-full of stuff
That is vaguely shitty
All of it was perfectly lawful

Just not very thoughtful at all
And just really
And I’m really f#cking sorry
b#tch, I’m trying to listen

Shit, I’ve been complacent
Sorry
If I’m gonna catch up
First, I gotta fess up

Sorry
Sorry
