The Fixer

Verse 1

The fixer is fixed with fixing others
He never has the time to fix himself
The fixer frets and wastes his time in worry
Annihilating self is worth a cent
Looking out instead of looking inwards
Diversion keep him busy from within
Forgetting what he needs and lost in sadness
Addiction numbs the pain beneath his skin

Chorus

People of the world we all are fixers
All of us we try to do our best
Ending up deluded and exhausted
Loaning out the love we need ourselves

Ohhh oh meet The Fixer
Ohhh oh

Verse 2

The Fixer follows orders like a soldier
Obedient – no questions asked at all
The task is clear to please the needs of others
Or so he thinks that’s what he had to do
Maybe as a child this served a purpose
To carry out the duties he was told
But tell me are you really still a solider?
And who is your commander now you’ve grown?

Chorus

People of the world we all are fixers
All of us we try to do our best
Ending up deluded and exhausted
Loaning out the love we need ourselves

Ohhh oh meet The Fixer

Middle

We’re gonna put the world to rights
Eveything’s gonna be all alright
We’re gonna fix our world tonight
Gotta fix our world tonight
We gotta put the world to rights
You gotta our fix your world tonight
Gotaa fix your world tonight
Everything’s gonna be alright

Verse 4

It’s time to turn the tables on the fixer
It’s time he left the premises for good
By leaving slavish ways you lived with others
And you can fix yourself the way you should

Chorus

Oohhh so long The Fixer
Farewell, ciao, adios and toodle-oo
That was the swan song for The Fixer
Farewell, cheerio and toodle-oo
