wax mannequin - someone fixed the game lyrics

[verse 1]
going 140 on the 401
the cop lights flash me down outside kingston
the officer sad
son, i’m just like you
try to ease up and pass on through

[verse 2]
i’m shifty in the customs line
my suitcase is full of sh+tty dutch wine
she hears the bottles rattle and clink
waves me right through with a knowing wink

[verse 3]
my shopping cart won’t fit any more
thoughtlessly, i walk right through the door
the clerk said you don’t look like a thief
i will let it slide you can pay me next week

[chorus]
oh, someone fixed the game for me
someone fixed the game for mе
i’m not on top, but i can see
that somebody fixed it for me

[verse 4]
i’m sick and scarеd of livin’ downtown
with the disenfranchised volatile crowd
the bank man said he’d sell us a loan
for a no money down suburban home
(what could go wrong?)
[verse 5]
well, the cop, the nurse, the fire brigade
i break down they all run to my aid
it don’t matter just how much i get stuck
someone arrives to dig me up

[chorus]
someone fixed the game for me
someone fixed the game for me
i scrambled high enough to see
that somebody fixed it for me

[verse 6]
when other blokes get tossed in the clink
i snake by to frolic and drink
some say i’m clever or nice
but that’s just code for privileged and white

[verse 7]
so if you’re of the less fortunate ilk
man up and hope for somebody else
then in a generation or two
someone will fix the game for you

[bridge]
like someone fixed the game for me
i got a pair of knights and i’m [?] history
i’m no card shark, but the dealer knows me
somebody fixed it i see
but, a storm has come
there’s a flood rushing in
it’s up to my nick and it’s through to my skin
keep your head down
everything’s fine
don’t worry ’bout yours, i got what’s mine
[verse 8]
you see the auctioneer is manning the raft
calling out the oars and the mast
if i can bid the other guy down
i will sail home; the rest can drown

[chorus]
someone fixed the game for me
someone fixed the game for me
that sun’s sure hot, but i’m sailin’ free
somebody fixed this for me

[chorus]
yeah, someone fixed the game for me
someone fixed the game
not a drop to drink no land to see
somebody fix this for me
can somebody fix this for me
