On The Fritz

He wished to right the wrongs
He sang religious songs
He kept the private he
Under a lock and key

Heat keeps rising in an age of passion
Shakes a conscience to the core
Stopgap, hand-slap, take a tongue-lashing
My poor soul can't take any more

On the fritz
On the fritz
There he sits
On the fritz

He kept his ego there
It was a sad affair...on the fritz
The inner circle knows
And so the story goes...on the fritz

Airborne rumors chip away the image
But you knew the stakes were higher
First they get you thinking you're a prophet
Now they've got you living a lie

On the fritz
On the fritz
There he sits
On the fritz

He kept his ego there
It was a sad affair...on the fritz
The public's had enough
They've come to call your bluff...on the fritz

Small talk breeds where kingdoms come crashing
Rumor conquers where it wills
No one hears you, go ahead and cash in
If you don't die to yourself
Pride kills

On the fritz (on the fritz)
On the fritz (on the fritz)
There he sits (there he sits)
On the fritz

On the fritz (on the fritz)
On the fritz (on the fritz)
There he sits (there he sits)
On the fritz

On the fritz (on the fritz)
On the fritz (on the fritz)
There he sits (there he sits)
On the fritz
