[Verse 1]
Goin' A140 on the EFour-Oh-AOne
The Acop lights flash me Edown outside F#mKingston
The officer said son, I'm Djust like you
ATry to ease up and Epass on tAhrough
[Verse 2]
I'm Ashifty in the Ecustoms Aline
My Asuitcase is full of Eshitty Dutch F#mwine
She hears the bottles Drattle and clink
AWaves me right through with a Eknowing Awink
[Verse 3]
My Ashopping cart wont Efit any Amore
AThoughtlessly, I walk Eright through the F#mdoor
The clerk said "You don't Dlook like a thief,
AI will let it slide, you can Epay me next Aweek."
[Chorus]
Oh, Dsomeone fixed the Agame for me,
Esomeone fixed the F#mgame for me,
I'm Dnot on top but AI can see,
that Esomebody fixed it for Ame.
[Verse 4]
I'm Asick and scared of Eliving Adowntown
with the Adisenfranchised, Evolitile F#mcrowd.
The bank man said he would Dsell us a loan
for a Ano money down, subEurban Ahome. (What could go wrong?)
[Verse 5]
When the Acop, the nurse, the Efire briAgade,
AI break down, they all Erun to my F#maid,
It don't matter just how Ddeep I get stuck,
ASomeone arrives to Edig me Aup.
[Chorus]
SomeDone fixed the game Afor me,
Esomeone fixed the F#mgame for me,
I've Dscrabled high eAnough to see
that Esomebody fixed it for Ame.
[Verse 6]
When Aother blokes get Etossed in the Aclink
AI sneak by to Efrolick and F#mdrink
Some say its cause I'm Dclever, or nice,
But Athats just code for Epriviledged and Awhite.
[Verse 7]
So if Ayou're of the less Efortunate Ailk
AMan up and opress Esomebody F#melse
Then in a generation or Dtwo,
Asomeone will fix the Egame for Ayou
[Chorus]
like Dsomeone fixed the Agame for me,
I got a Epair of nines and I'm F#mhit with a three.
I'm Dno cardshark, but the Adealer knows me,
ESomebody fixed it I Asee.
[Verse 8]
--slower--
But a Amstorm has come, there's a Emflood rushing Amin
It's Amup to my neck and it's tEmhrough to my sF#mkin
Keep your head down, everything's Dfine,
Don't Aworry 'bout yours, I Egot what's Amine.
[Verse 9]
You see the Aauctioneer he's Emanning the Araft,
ACalling out the Eoars and the F#mmast
If I can bid the Dother guy down,
AI will sail home, the Erest can Adrown
[Chorus]
DSomeone fixed the Agame for me,
Esomeone fixed the F#mgame for me,
That Dsun's so hot, but I'm Asailing free
Esomebody fixed this for Ame.
[Outro]
DSomeone fixed the Agame for me,
Esomeone fixed the F#mgame for me,
not a Ddrop to drink, no Aland to see
can Esomebody fix this for Ame?
can Esomebody fix this for Ame?
can Esomebody fix this for Dme?A

F#m

[Verse 1]

A E A

Goin' 140 on the Four-Oh-One

A E F#m

The cop lights flash me down outside Kingston

The officer said son, I'm just like you

A E A

Try to ease up and pass on through

[Verse 2]

A E A

I'm shifty in the customs line

A E F#m

My suitcase is full of shitty Dutch wine

She hears the bottles rattle and clink

A E A

Waves me right through with a knowing wink

[Verse 3]

A E A

My shopping cart wont fit any more

A E F#m

Thoughtlessly, I walk right through the door

The clerk said "You don't look like a thief,

A E A

I will let it slide, you can pay me next week."

[Chorus]

D A

Oh, someone fixed the game for me,

E F#m

someone fixed the game for me,

D A

I'm not on top but I can see,

E A

that somebody fixed it for me.

[Verse 4]

A E A

I'm sick and scared of living downtown

A E F#m

with the disenfranchised, volitile crowd.

The bank man said he would sell us a loan

A E A

for a no money down, suburban home. (What could go wrong?)

[Verse 5]

A E A

When the cop, the nurse, the fire brigade,

A E F#m

I break down, they all run to my aid,

It don't matter just how deep I get stuck,

A E A

Someone arrives to dig me up.

[Chorus]

D A

Someone fixed the game for me,

E F#m

someone fixed the game for me,

D A

I've scrabled high enough to see

E A

that somebody fixed it for me.

[Verse 6]

A E A

When other blokes get tossed in the clink

A E F#m

I sneak by to frolick and drink

Some say its cause I'm clever, or nice,

A E A

But thats just code for priviledged and white.

[Verse 7]

A E A

So if you're of the less fortunate ilk

A E F#m

Man up and opress somebody else

Then in a generation or two,

A E A

someone will fix the game for you

[Chorus]

D A

like someone fixed the game for me,

E F#m

I got a pair of nines and I'm hit with a three.

D A

I'm no cardshark, but the dealer knows me,

E A

Somebody fixed it I see.

[Verse 8]

--slower--

Am Em Am

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

Am Em F#m

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

Keep your head down, everything's fine,

A E A

Don't worry 'bout yours, I got what's mine.

[Verse 9]

A E A

You see the auctioneer he's manning the raft,

A E F#m

Calling out the oars and the mast

If I can bid the other guy down,

A E A

I will sail home, the rest can drown

[Chorus]

D A

Someone fixed the game for me,

E F#m

someone fixed the game for me,

D A

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

E A

somebody fixed this for me.

[Outro]

D A

Someone fixed the game for me,

E F#m

someone fixed the game for me,

D A

not a drop to drink, no land to see

E A

can somebody fix this for me?

E A

can somebody fix this for me?

E D A

can somebody fix this for me?
