D A            D G
I'm hot and when I'm not
I'm cold as ice
Get out of my way Just step aside
Or pay the price

  G     D
What I want I take
  G     D
What I don't I break
G D          G    D
And I don't want you

 A       E
With a flick of my knife
A       E
I can change your life
A E                  A   E
There's nothing you can do

Chorus
G       A          C D
I'm a problem child
        A          C D
I'm a problem child, yes I am
        A          C D
I'm a problem child
A           G E
And I'm wild

Make my stand, no man's land
On my own
Man in blue, it's up to you
The seed is sown

What I want, I stash
What I don't, I smash
And you're on my list
Dead or alive
I got a .45
And I never miss

Chorus:
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child, yes I am
I'm a problem child
And I'm wild
Just runnin' wild

Just watch your step

Every night
Street alight
I drink my booze
Some run, some fight
But I win, they lose

What I need, I like
What I don't, I fight
And I don't like you
Say, "Bye, bye" while you're still alive
Your time is through

Chorus:
I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child, yes I am
I'm a problem child
And I'm wild
I'm a problem child (and my mother hates me)

I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child, yes I am
I'm a problem child
And I'm wild
I'm a problem child (and my mother hates me)

I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child, yes I am
I'm a problem child
And I'm wild
I'm a problem child (and my mother hates me)

I'm a problem child
I'm a problem child, yes I am
I'm a problem child
And I'm wild
I'm a problem child (and my mother hates me)

You've got your troubles, I've got mine
