Steve Taylor - On the Fritz lyrics

He wished to right the wrongs He sang religious songs He kept the private "he" Under the lock and key Heat keeps rising in an age of pa**ion 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 high First they got 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 So the crowds grew, and their praise did too And a mailing list sent you money So they love Jerry Lewis in France Does that make him funny? It's too late for apologies when trust has been betrayed Now victims of your double life are naming names 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 k**s On the fritz (On...the...fritz) On the fritz There he sits (The...fritz) On the fritz On the fritz (On the fritz) (On the... fritz) On the fritz (On the fritz) There he sits (On the fritz) (On the...fritz) On the fritz On the fritz (On the fritz) (Hey! Pride k**s On the fritz [On the fritz]) There he sits (On the fritz) (The...fritz) On the fritz On the fritz (On the fritz) (Living a lie) On the fritz (On the fritz) There he sits (On the fritz) (On the...fritz) On the fritz On the fritz (On the fritz) (Ooohhh...) On the fritz (On the fritz)
