An innocent wandering character, Benjamin, experiences aspects of life that seem like the game is fixed; politics, music, television, critics' reviews... 

This lyric had sat on a piece of paper for years when I asked my friend Jim Counter to try to put a melody to it, around 2006, and he came back with a gem. We recorded it  back then, and recently he added bass and Debra Donahue added a bit of a backing vocal.

LYRIC:
Benjamin started feeling earthquakes
Long before he moved to L.A.
It was all that smoke that he inhaled
One night over Boston bay
He lay there listening to Dylan
The original vinyl hits
He heard those Chimes of Freedom
And wondered how the game got fixed

Benjamin turned on the president
Reading his latest speech
All about the need for armament
Benjamin chewed on a peach,
His TV set was in color
But it was stuck on Channel 66 –
Benjamin listened to the president
And wondered how the game got fixed

CHORUS:
How the game got fixed
Seemed to be the question
How the game got fixed
Under the nose of Benjamin

Benjamin talked to a traffic cop
On Sunset Boulevard
Benjamin went to a movie
And used his student card
But the movie just wasn’t funny
Though it made all the critics’ picks
Benjamin sat in the balcony
And wondered how the game got fixed

CHORUS


CHORUS

your sister was right
