lyrics

I read today’s papers and the fix is in
I heard the newscaster say that the fix is in
And the president’s an actor selling lies (What did you expect?)
No one will open their eyes (What did you expect?)

Could it be...I’m just paranoid
Don’t you see?
The fix is in

My lover whispers in her sleep that the fix is in
In the flickering green of my video screen, the fix is in
All my friends are acting strange (What did you expect?)
They all tell me I’m the one who’s changed (What did you expect?)

Could it be...There’s something in the air
Don’t you see...No one seems to care
Look around...You’re in a prison
There’s no doubt…
The fix is in

Mom and Dad won’t admit it, but the fix is in
All the people in the city know that the fix is in
The sponsors are all selling you (What did you expect?)
Nobody’s telling the truth (What did you expect?)

Could it be...I’m losing my mind?
Don’t you see...It’s not all fine
Look around...Why won’t you listen?
There’s no doubt…
The fix is in

Cops, robbers, holy fathers…the fix is in
Students and teachers, all of them cheaters…the fix is in
In the mirror, becoming clearer…the fix is in
Down in my soul, tell you what I know…the fix is in

Sid Luscious and The Pants San Francisco, California

The greatest new wave band that never was!

Childhood prodigies, Sid Luscious and The Pants were abandoned by the industry in the early 80s, on the verge of success. Other bands stole their sound and rode it to the top of the charts, while Sid and The Pants went their separate ways and grew up.

Decades later, the band has reformed. Older, wiser, and more new wave than ever. ... more

Lazerhawk's best work. Instrumental, dreamy, mysterious. Like waking up at 3 am to a static-filled cable channel showing fragments of an 80s movie. Sid Luscious and The Pants
