Wrong lyrics for Fixurlifeup?

On a few sites they write the lyrics as being...

"With a miracle you might get better."

But I hear...

"America you might get better."

What do you guys hear?

Tell me how some people walk in the sun
While other just walk in the dark

Looking at the world thru the barrel of a gun
Hands behind their backs in a parked car.

In ? America you might fare better
In London ure sure 2 b toast.

You always get the dream that u deserve
From what u value the most

You need to fix-ur-life-up
Fix-ur.life-up
Fixitup

Goin with a guitar is 12x's better than try-n to be a star
When sure just another misogonistic ?....noise

Instead of everybody getting what they want
They can get what they need.

You need to fix-ur-life-up
Alright
Fixitup

Don't worry what the crowd does
Just worry bout being good at what you love.

Don't make this complicated
U no it's true
Don't make us replace you????

That's all I got folks...nite, peace.

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

Most of the lyrics to this song are clear enough to understand but there are a few that are unclear so I decided to try to write down the closest to what I thought the lyrics were. Here is my understanding:

Tell me how some people walk in the sun

While others just walk in the dark

Looking at the world thru a barrel of a gun

Hands behind their back in a parked car

And America U might fair better

London U're sure 2 be toast

U always get the dream that U deserve

From what you value the most


Chorus:

U need 2 fix Ur life up

Fix Ur life up

Fix it up


A girl with a guitar is 12 times better

That another crazy band of boys

Tryna be a star when U're just another brick

In a misogynistic wall of noise

When the leaders learn how to follow

And then all the people lead

Instead of everybody getting what they want

They can get what they need


Chorus:

U need 2 fix Ur life up (alright)

Fix Ur life up


Don’t worry about what the crowd does

Just worry about being good at what you love

Don’t make this comṗlicated, you know it’s true

Don’t make us put somebody else in for you

All the lyrics to this song that I have come across, seems to have a problem with the first 2 lins of the second verse but if you are a fan of Prince and have been following 3rdEyeGirl (Twitter and website), you will realise that it was mentioned in the 'Screwdriver Live' Video at the start, when the beautiful Hannah is talking to the guy and he reads the lyrics she wrote. If you haven't already realised, check it out and see for yourself.

In America you might fare better

In London you sure to be toast.

It's not clear what it means.

Therefore, I just took ik personal.

I will not look for love in London anymore.

Will look for an American lover lol

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.
