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
