Problems
The Sex Pistols Lyrics

Too many problems
Life is full of problems and I'm overwhelmed

Oh why am I here
I'm questioning my existence and purpose

I need to be me
I need to be true to myself, not anyone else's expectations

'Cause you're all too clear
I can see right through you and your fake persona

And I can see
I'm observant and aware of my surroundings, people and situations

There's something wrong with you
You have flaws, issues, or problems that you refuse to acknowledge or fix

But what do you expect me to do?
I'm not responsible for fixing or solving your problems

At least I gotta know what I wanna be
I have a sense of direction and ambition for my future

Don't come to me if you need pity
I won't waste my time feeling sorry for you or your problems

Are you lonely you got no one
If you feel lonely, it's not my responsibility to keep you company

You get your body in suspension
You use drugs or alcohol to escape your problems

That's no problem, problem
This may not be an issue for you, but it's still a problem

Eat your heart out on a plastic tray
You're consuming false, artificial things instead of real, meaningful experiences

You don't do what you want
You're not living life on your own terms

Then you'll fade away
If you continue to conform to others' expectations, you'll lose your identity and fade into obscurity

You won't find me working
I'm not a conformist who will work a typical 9-5 job

Nine to five
Referring to a typical work schedule

It's too much fun being alive
I'm living life to the fullest and enjoying every moment

I'm using my feet for my human machine
I'm exploring the world and experiencing it through my senses

You won't find me living for the screen
I'm not obsessed with technology or the digital world

Are you lonely all your needs catered
If you're missing a human connection, it's not my problem to solve

You got your brains dehydrated
Your brain is not functioning properly due to substance abuse or lack of mental stimulation

I ain't equipment, I ain't automatic
I'm not a robot or machine that can be programmed or controlled

You won't find me just staying static
I'm constantly moving and evolving, not staying stagnant

Don't you give me any orders
I don't take orders or commands from anyone else

For people like me
I'm unique and don't fit into a typical mold or category

There is no order
I don't conform to society's norms or expectations

Bet you thought you had it all worked out
You probably assumed you knew everything about me and my life

Bet you thought you knew what I was about
You probably had some superficial assumptions or judgments about me

Bet you thought you'd solved all your problems
You may have thought you resolved all the issues in your life

But you are the problem
You created some of your own problems or you're the source of your own unhappiness

They know a doctor
Someone thinks you need professional help or treatment

Gonna take you away
You're going to be removed from a situation or environment

And throw away the key
You may be stuck somewhere or unable to escape a negative situation

They don't want you
Someone doesn't want you or may have rejected you

And they don't want me
Someone else doesn't want to associate with me or involve me

You got a problem
You have an issue, challenge or difficulty to overcome

The problem is you
You are the cause of the problem, it originates from you

What you gonna do with your problem
How are you going to handle and respond to your own problem?

I'll leave it to you
I won't take responsibility for your problem, it's yours to solve

You got a problem
You still have an issue or challenge to address

The problem is you
You are still the root cause of the problem

Problem
Repeated emphasis on the existence of an issue, difficulty, or challenge

Problem, problem
Repeating the same concept or idea, driving home the message

Problem, problem, problem
Continuing to stress the presence and importance of the problem
