Lyrics |
sometimes you can fix something by just building a ramp
if you have the inclination!
sometimes you can fix something by just sitting around
ideas come from relaxation
sometimes you can fix something by just blowing it up
the world reacts to provocation
sometimes you can fix something by just takin' it slow
our culture loves procrastination
sometimes you can fix something by just hurrying up
we worship instant solutions
sometimes you can fix something by just looking away
Zen Buddhist in-attention
sometimes you can fix something with just a mistake
don't get too hung-up on perfection
sometimes you can fix something by just doing it right
craftsmanship requires precision
sometimes you can fix something with total control
aim for global domination
sometimes you can fix something by just playing along
give 'em enough rope to hang 'em
sometimes you can fix something by just working like hell
that will not hurt your reputation
sometimes you can fix something by not working too hard
burn-out is a real problem
sometimes you can fix something by just having faith
sometimes miracles can happen
sometimes you can fix something by just saying a prayer
wait for divine intervention
sometimes you can fix something by just trusting your luck
roll them bones and see what happens
sometimes you can fix something by just being a cheat
mastermind the final outcome
sometimes you can fix something by just being tough
ya gotta learn ta take rejection
sometimes you can fix something by just being scared
heroes never seem to live long
sometimes you can fix something by just taking a class
learn new techniques, new information
sometimes you can fix something by just building a wall
there's such a thing as too much freedom
sometimes you can fix something by tightening your belt
learn to live within restrictions
sometimes you can fix something by just busting loose
don't let 'em squish your self-expression
sometimes you can fix something by just shutting up
let someone smarter do the talking
sometimes you can fix something by just coming in last
but wait 'til next season
sometimes you can fix something by just holding out
wear away the opposition
sometimes you can fix something by just being a fool
innocence trumps sophistication
sometimes you can fix something by just knowing the law
when they try and pull a fast one
sometimes you can fix something by just screening your calls
they're always tryin' ta sell ya somethin’
sometimes you can fix something by just washing your hands
eliminate contamination
sometimes you can fix something by just wearing a mask
sometimes it's best ta keep 'em guessing
sometimes you can fix something by just going to hell
pave it with the best intentions
sometimes you can fix something by just telling all
exorcize your deepest demons
sometimes you can fix something by just saying "no"
take an intractable position
sometimes you can fix something by just saying "yes"
if they can meet all your conditions
sometimes you can fix something with just the right spin
make 'em question what they're seeing
sometimes you can fix something by just changing your mind
there's nothing wrong with indecision
sometimes you can fix something by just building a fort
hunker down for the duration
sometimes you can fix something by just changing sides
if you can't beat 'em...join 'em
sometimes you can fix something by just getting laid
orgasm releases tension
sometimes you can fix something by just jacking off
you can't get AIDS from masturbation
sometimes you can fix something by just getting drunk
a cure for mental constipation
sometimes you can fix something by just having one drink
everything in moderation
sometimes you can fix something by just taking the heat
or get out of the kitchen
sometimes you can fix something by just passing the buck
blame it on another person
sometimes you can fix something by just turning around
try a mid-course correction
sometimes you can fix something by just trying to cope
with patience, tact and stoicism
sometimes you can fix something by just starting to cry
people can't take raw emotions
sometimes you can fix something by running from your past
join the French Foreign Legion
sometimes you can fix something by just turning a knob
volume is a weapon
sometimes you can fix something by just toning it down
too much too fast might overwhelm 'em
sometimes you can fix something by just giving a gift
mollify the opposition
sometimes you can fix something by just taking it back
ya don't wanna spoil 'em
sometimes you can fix something by just playing dumb
try to get off with a warning
sometimes you can fix something by just being sharp
stall with a brilliant explanation
sometimes you can fix something by just going to church
maybe God will pay attention
Refrain
sometimes you can fix something by just being a prick
winning by intimidation
sometimes you can fix something by just lifting your skirt
it's the ultimate distraction
V
i poke button
i want action
let's hear some gears and see some smoke
no dilly-dally
move your heiny
this is the age of "go for broke"
Refrain
sometimes you can fix something by just kissing some ass
if you don't mind humiliation
sometimes you can fix something by just smoking a pipe
academic contemplation
V2
so pathetic no mechanic
no steady eye, no magic touch
no screwdriver
ball peen hammer
mr. fix-it's gone to lunch
Extension 1
not personal?
yeah it's personal..
what did i ever do to you?
no crap from
contraptions
just do what i tell you to do
Refrain x 2
sometimes you can fix something by just blaming your mom
everybody loves a victim
sometimes you can fix something by just cracking a joke
humor is greasy lubrication
sometimes you can fix something by just cooking the books
wealth is all about perception
sometimes you can fix something by just smoking a joint
stoner free association
Solo
V3
broke down, lifeless
junkyard worthless
no tweezer jesus in the house
so desperate
so dependent
pay any price to dope it out
Extension2
i want genius
i wanna suss
the perfect kluge, the devil glitch
oh, hosanna
socket messiah
the only jesus worth a shit
sometimes you can fix something by not going to church
I've met too many evil Christians
sometimes you can fix something by just being against being against the establishment of the church
antidisestablishmentarianism
sometimes you can fix something by just suing the son of a bitch
tie 'em up in litigation
sometimes you can fix something by just going home
maybe the answer's back in Cleveland
sometimes you can fix something by hot-wiring the fuse
tho you may risk electrocution
sometimes you can fix something with just a better glue
high coefficient of adhesion
sometimes you can fix something by just paying 'em off
then get on with what you're doing
sometimes you can fix something by not being home
avoid unwanted solicitations
sometimes you can fix something by just having the stones
if you can't get no satisfaction
sometimes you can fix something by just listening to The Who
sing "my my gen gen gen er a tion"
sometimes you can't fix something by just playing pinball
tho Tommy's such a stupid album
sometimes you can fix something by just speaking your mind
that right is in the constitution
sometimes you can fix something by just biting your tongue
they say silence is golden
sometimes you can fix something by just writing a book
go on talk shows 'round the nation
sometimes you can fix something by just reading a book
turn off that goddam television
sometimes you can fix something by just having a snack
hunger wrecks your concentration
Sometimes you can fix something by just killing the joke
Yes that’s a banana, and no not glad to see ya
Sometimes you can fix something by just checking it out
Check it out check it out check it out
Sometimes you can fix something by just paying the rent
Avoid the trauma of eviction
Sometimes you can fix something by just remembering that something needs fixing
A Post-It note or string ‘round your finger
Sometimes you can fix something by just using a GPS
If you can stand ‘lectronic nagging
Sometimes you can fix something by just going to the beach
But please don’t talk to the lifeguard
Sometimes you can fix something by just hitting the slopes
Otherwise…what’s the point of winter?
Sometimes you can fix something by just shaving your legs
A small concession to beauty
Sometimes you can fix something by just not shaving your legs
Revolt against the myth of beauty
Sometimes you can fix something by just watching the skies
Look out for alien invaders
Sometimes you can fix something by just playing alien invaders
Retro arcade games are groovy
Sometimes you can fix something with please and thank you
Being polite ain’t gonna kill ya
Sometimes you can fix something by just doin’ the right thing
It will make you feel better
Sometimes you can fix something by just expecting respect
I don’t just want it, I demand it.
Sometimes you can fix something by just betting everything ya got
Got to be in it to win it
Sometimes you can fix something by just counting your blessings
Tho you’ll still be a cynic.

Lyrics |
sometimes you can fix something by just smashing your car
the Keith Moon School of Wreckless Driving
sometimes you can fix something by just going ahead
surrender to temptation
sometimes you can fix something by just saying "hey?'
"who the hell gave you permission?"
sometimes you can fix something by just doing it anyway
over everyone's objections
sometimes you can fix something by just reading some smut
that'll get those juices flowing
sometimes you can fix something by just gutting it out
don't let go of your vision
sometimes you can fix something by just losing your nerve
reconsider what you're doin'
sometimes you can fix something by just havin' your doubts
maybe your idea's a dumb one
sometimes you can fix something by just plodding along
when you're way past the point of caring
sometimes you can fix something by just pulling the plug
cutting your losses shows wisdom
sometimes you can fix something by plugging back in
lick your wounds then come out swingin'
sometimes you can fix something by just being unplugged
your record will sell millions
