Problem

Problem

The song starts with a small, ordinary admission—someone is being asked to do something they are not good at—and widens into a chain of voices sharing the same problem. The refrain’s grim accusation, that people kill, steal and devour, gives the lyric a moral urgency, while its shifting perspective from “I” to “you” to “he” turns private discomfort into a common predicament. The question is not whether harm exists, but whether forgiveness is possible when the offenders know what they are doing.

That final reversal matters: the familiar appeal to forgive ignorance is explicitly challenged. The song refuses to let a soft proverb close the argument. Yet it offers no named perpetrator, institution or event, so attaching it to a specific political controversy would overstate the evidence. The lyric reads as a broad meditation on complicity and moral exhaustion. No independent review or recording context was confirmed for this entry. M.O.R.T.’s repeated, almost chant-like construction suits that unresolved question: the same problem can be inherited from one person to another without becoming any easier to excuse.

The refrain’s repetition resembles the structure of a protest chant: short, memorable, and built to return until the listener has to confront its question. Yet the song resists the easy moral comfort of a standard forgiveness slogan, asking instead what mercy means when wrongdoing is conscious. That tension gives its broad rock rhetoric a sharper ethical center than simple outrage. No specific offender or event is named, so the lyric remains an argument about complicity rather than a coded report. The final uncertainty is important: refusing to excuse harm may be justified, but it does not automatically tell us what justice should look like.
