Boy With a Problem Video (MV)

He tries so hard to get himself together
But he's so weak he couldn't lift a feather
And it looks as though it's gonna be bad weather
When he comes down from the clouds

His mother says, I wish he'd should stop his drinking
He's like a ship that's on the verge of sinking
But she don't see his pupils as they're shrinking
When he's away in the clouds

He's just a boy with a problem he can't conceal
He thinks he's controlling his habit
But soon from this earth
He will leave

He used to be a very happy fellow
And everything he did was very mellow
But now his skin is slowly turning yellow
Looking just like a bad dream

He used to play a melody so pretty
On a silver stick a long way from the city
But now my heart is so filled up with pity
What can we do with him now

He's just a boy with a problem he can't conceal
He thinks he's controlling his habit
But soon from this earth
He will leave

I'm gonna write a song and send it to him
And maybe he will see just what I'm feelin'
I've still got love and hope and my affection
To keep him from fading away

The earth is pure, its veins are rivers of water
And man should be as a father to a daughter
But he does what he likes, because he thinks he's bought her
Laughing while he injects her with his filth

He's just a boy with a problem, lost out in space
We're turning him into a junkie, look at his face
What a disgrace
