The verse lyrics to "the Fixer" weren't written to change your life or enlighten you. In this particular song, it is about the energy/catchiness of Ed's delivery and the music itself. The only lyric in the song that matters is the chorus "Fight to get it back again", which can relate to many different things and may actually inspire some folks... What is "it"? Country, freedom, love, health, career, sobriety, inner sense, happiness, etc.
I'm sure those who aren't big fans of "the Fixer" due to 'poorly written lyrics' will be happy with some of the other songs off Backspacer were the lyrics are a more integral aspect of the song. ie. Present Tense, In My Tree, Black.
With that said, I wouldn't be surprised to learn these are Matt Cameron's lyrics. He wrote the music and these words sound like Matt's to me.
But really though, I like this angular pop song. I like that it's different than their past stuff and to me it's their first song with radio appeal since wishlist. (How dare PJ write a radio friendly song!! ) That chorus is infectious and it gives a glimpse of hope to a dying world. I know it has personally put me in a better mood after a listen.

....though I agree about the part regarding the lyrics being written by Matt..I certainly hope so..
I keep hearing that Ed wrote these lyrics (I know, seems odd). I'm also hoping that Matt wrote them.
PS: Don't make me go Buster Douglas on you Iron Mike....
Haha, it is a catchy fucking tune ..
'I want to hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'
