Lyrics for Part of the Problem

Someone tell me what I'm s'posed to Do when the occasion comes Around for me to prove I am Good I can't find the answer to the Question even though I'd like to Demonstrate, if only I Could You are just part of the problem I must be most of the problem Funny people always come to Me about their inhibitions But there's no solution at all I would like to help but I am Usually too busy to Prevent the way my friends want to fall You are just part of the problem I must be most of the problem And consequently, the combination Of your rhetoric and my ignorance Only tends to horrify the situation to the point where The lifeblood of our relationship evaporates Into the air on which we choke I wanna show you that I Can't be any more inspiring Just leave me alone until the Time comes when I learn the answer Then I'll write a novel 'bout it You can read the novel and the Problem will be solved and we can Then go back to living in an Ordinary way and all the People all around us can say They are really happy That the novel was successful And they know just how to cope with today Possible, impossible It's possible, impossible It's probable, improbable now Possible, impossible It's possible, impossible It's probable, improbable now You are just part of the problem
