I The Mighty - The Quick Fix Lyrics






We are just an investment,
We are some elaborate plan.
We are just an investment,
A pawn for whom they call "the man."
Each of us a fragment,
Forming but a single piece.
Functional and overbearing,
Beautiful, but, underneath

We beg for it.
We scream for it.
A love to manifest and spread to the rest.
Oh, we claim America as bliss,
But beneath the skin we're in love with the quick fix.
Oh, the world is too much to digest.
Naive like a child, we're in love by the first kiss.

Fear or faith has always been a part of me
But I know better than to trust a few men with guns (run! run!)
Or a carefully worded document.
I know I'm not the only one

Who begs for it.
We scream for it.
Oh, we claim America as bliss,
But beneath the skin we're in love with the quick fix.
Oh,the world is too much to digest.
Naive like a child, we're in love by the first kiss.

If (if) if (if) everyone loved (loved) loved (loved) just a little more.
If (if) if (if) everyone loved (loved) loved (loved) just a little more.

We beg for it.
We scream for it.
A love to manifest and spread to the rest.
Oh, we claim America as bliss,
But beneath the skin we're in love with the quick fix.
Oh,the world is too much to digest.
Naive like a child, we're in love by the first kiss.
Turn on. Tune in. Turn off. Drop out.

  1. A.... R....

    I'm sorry but, could someone explain this song to me. I'm new to this band and I son't understand most of their songs.

    A.... R....

    it's just a 'fuck the system' song and saying we're oblivious to what really happens behind scenes

    A.... R....

    +Aszarak ! thanks!

  2. I.... D....

    tab for the intro?

  3. O.... ....

    first comment in almost a year

    O.... ....

    yoooooo

    O.... ....

    there should be an instrumental version to this song I like the beginning

    O.... ....

    i want a tab for that :c

  4. A.... W....

    Amazing. Love this band

    A.... W....

    +Ashlynn Winder Yes!

  5. k.... g....

    Love this song. 3

  6. R.... M....

    "Fuck the System" Bands get a bad wrap because it's hard to take them seriously when most of those bands are comprised of complaining teeny boppers. Get a band like Tool to write a song about the cracked system we use, then you'd get a lot more people to flock to it, not because they are popular, but because they present it in a way that appeals to a more mature audience. I, The Mighty are talented musically, but the lyrics of this particular song are really lacking in substance.

    R.... M....

    well i prefer this style to the likes of tool, just personal taste really

    R.... M....

    Art should be free. These people, and everyone, should be free to present their feelings towards this cracked system in whichever way they want without being penalized or shunned for it.

    R.... M....

    @xArnold99x art is free, with freedom comes the freedom for EVERYONE to present their opniions on it, and the maturity of the artists to accept that. which in all fairness they do autimatically, with free art you cant not

    R.... M....

    @Richard McCready Not that I The Might is much better, but Tool is one of the most cringey edgelord bands to ever exist my dude
    Lateralus is top 5 most pretentious albums I've ever head

  7. L.... ....

    I value your opinion because you have a Rise Against pic.They're my favorite band. I really like Occupatience and The Frame II though, just sayin'. You really can't go wrong on Satori, every song is fantastic.

  8. T.... ....

    Its funny you should list all those bands///because I just discovered them as well! XD When I clicked on I The Mighty my suggestions box came up with all those bands! AND I LOVE THEM ALL!
    Its a shock I didn't find them sooner!

    But in all honesty 'fuck the system' or 'wake up to reality' themed bands tend to always get a bad end of the 'popularity' stick. ;/ I The Mighty should be on rock radio 24/7 with the quality muse they put out.

  9. R.... F....

    It's sad that most people will never listen and read the lyrics of bands like I, The Mighty, Dream on Dreamer, Hands Like Houses, and Architects. They all have positive messages and something to speak out for. But I'll always listen to these bands and share them with friends haha

  10. R.... F....

    Brent Walsh for President

  11. e.... ....

    Mad political views!! True all true.

  12. C.... B....

    That's for you to decide. The beauty of I the Mighty.

  13. O.... B....

    They need to get more known, seriously the most underrated band. I love these guys

  14. T.... ....

    WOW...MIND = BLOWN
    great rock music + political message; that explains our desperation for 'getting by' and getting much money as possible regardless of how it effects anyone else (quick fix) ???


    3,000 VIEWS??? ARE YOU PEOPLE F**KING SERIOUS??!!! I better come back next week and see 12,890,356 HITS DAMN IT!
    Someone get this band a record deal please! *^*

  15. I.... s....

    What's the meaning of lyrics?

  16. V.... ....

    and everyone else that's been following the band for a while.

  17. S.... ....

    A seriously underrated band..

  18. S.... ....

    The best on the album in my opinion.

  19. M.... ....

    This is amazing.

  20. d.... e....

    It takes talent to write a song like this.
