Someone Fixed The Game

[NOT DONE]

Going 140 on the 401

The cop lights flash me down outside Kingston

The officer said "Son, I'm just like you

Try to ease up and pass on through"

I'm shifting in the customs line

My suitcase is full of shitty dutch wine

She hears the bottles rattle and clink

Waves me through with a knowing wink

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'll let it slide if you pay me next week

Oh

{refrain}

Someone fixed the game for me

Someone fixed the game for me

I'm not on top but I can see

Somebody fixed it for me

I'm sick and scared of living downtown

With the disenfranchised volatile crowd

The bank man said he could sell us a loan

For a no-money-down suburban home 

(What could go wrong?)

Well the cop, the nurse, the fire brigade

When I break down, they all run to my aid

It don't matter just how deep I get stuck

Someone arrives to pick me right up

Someone fixed the game for me

Someone fixed the game for me

I've scrambled high enough to see

Somebody fixed it for me

When other blokes get tossed in the clink

I sneak by to frolic and drink

Some say it's because I'm clever 

.... or nice

But that's just code for privileged and white

So if you're of the less fortunate ilk

Man up and oppress somebody else

Think, in a generation will do

Someone will fix the game for you

Like

Someone fixed the game for me

A pair of nines and I'm hit with a three

I'm no card shark but the dealer knows me

Somebody fixed it, I see

[slow]

But a storm has come, there's a flood rushing in

It's up to my neck and it's through to my skin

Keep your head down, everything's fine

Don't worry about yours, I got what's mine

They say the auctioneer, he's manning a raft

He's calling out the oars and the mast

If I can bid the other guy down

I will sail home, the rest can drown

Someone fixed the game for me

Someone fixed the game for me

That sun's sure hot, but I'm sailing free

Somebody fixed this for me

Someone fixed the game for me

Someone fixed the game for me

Not a drop to drink, no land to see

Can somebody fix this for me

Can somebody fix this for me

Can somebody fix this for me

Ooooh ooooooooh
