[Verse 1]
They sold us a lock
then kept both keys
Paper in the door
and dust on the knees
You call it a plan
I call it a crack
We keep patching the wall
while it keeps pulling back
[F] (pulling back)
The clock ticks loud
in a room of wires
Got a hundred bright minds
and a match for the fire
[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t need a saint
We don’t need a throne
Just two strong hands
and a code of our own
If the gears grind wrong
then baby, hear me say
We can bend this thing
we can make a new way
[Chorus]
Fix it ourselves
fix it ourselves
No more waiting
fix it ourselves
Fix it ourselves
fix it ourselves
Hands in the dark
we fix it ourselves
[Verse 2]
You see the same old faces
same old game
Same tired speeches
with a new fake name
But the block still blooms
through the busted chain
Folks show up hungry
and they build again
[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t need a crown
We don’t need a roll
Just a brave little spark
and a louder whole
If the doors stay shut
then baby, make a door
We were born in the break
and we’re asking for more
[Chorus]
Fix it ourselves
fix it ourselves
No more waiting
fix it ourselves
Fix it ourselves
fix it ourselves
Hands in the dark
we fix it ourselves
[Drop]
[Beat Drop]
Boom in the chest
and the floor goes low
Hands up, feet down
let the whole room glow
Talk too slick?
We can talk back now
Trace a new line
from the lost to found
[Bridge]
I saw hope in a kitchen chair
in a toolbox lid
In the way your brother
mended what they hid
If the world won’t change
then watch us move
One by one, we become
the thing that proves
[Final Chorus]
Fix it ourselves
fix it ourselves
No more waiting
fix it ourselves
Fix it ourselves
fix it ourselves
Hands in the dark
we fix it ourselves
(Fix it ourselves)
(Fix it ourselves)
