WE NEED A FIX (T. Mantelli 2010) we need a fix the only thing we need is a fix No,no,no. i know everything I say is meaningless cause i got nothing to hide except for what i'm i know everything I say is meaningless cause i got nothing to hide except for the fact we need a fix no use to get no use to give no use to die no use to live we need a fix when everything turns into shit problem solved problem solved we need a fix no matter what we say or what we do when everything is said and done we need a fix this is the game we play for fun only men, that's what we are not enough light to let me grow i stay so small and so close to my self in my personal bubble it's my personal bible i have no right to wonder how or when i will shine again today or not today this is the question I dig a hole on the ground and bury my dreams alive if you had the chance to see the future imagine what you would like to see and don't be afraid future is what we are doing now the things which have to come maybe nothing will change at all but future is what we are doing now future is what we are doing now cause i got nothing to hide except for what i am future is what we are doing now cause i got nothing to hide except for the fact we need a fix
