"Reporting Of A Failed Campaign" lyrics

Suzy was a ventriloquist in her way
Turning on everything on air into an exposé
She'd drag your name through the dirt just for sport then settle out of court
And her, her network boss would say
That we're all going to hell one day

He was the last man standing in a Polish camp way back in '45
Lenny tired of siring ingrates, rang his lawyer, left his seventh wife
He met a child of the Camorra on a yacht just out of Napoli
And he, he knocked her up that week
In his twin engine gulfstream

But time's no friend of liars
Time's no friend of liars anymore

40 years ago the Fixer set off on his trail of slime
He found the old French Quarters breakwater and he stayed a while
He got a job in repossession seizing speedboats and the odd jetski
But he made a better living cutting slack to all the people kept his palms well-greased
He bought the chateau bunga bunga by the beach to lure the rich high-fliers
Installed cameras in the bedrooms and an office in the Virgin Islands

But time's no friend of liars

Lenny's station syndicated world wide via satellite dish
Meanwhile the Fixer built a pyramid scheme that made him ponzi king
Lenny started running with the shysters and was cooling on his fresh new bride
Then one night wound up alone at bunga bunga with the Fixer's wife
Then he, he'd come home late dressed slick
So she, she hired a private dick

Meanwhile his station got a fraction of the traction and the ratings bombed
'Til headhunters found Suzy on her day shift in a nail salon
She brought a glamour to the camera and a panoramic paranoia
Yeah, the network's rating soared
And they, they banked their cash offshore

But time's no friend of liars
Time's no friend of liars
Time's no friend of liars

One day Suzy got a tip off 'bout the Fixer's scam and nailed him live
His rich buddies lost millions and he took off to the Virgin Islands
They stung him hard with lawsuits thinking Interpol might drag him home
But he'd blackmailed everybody with his bunga bunga videos
So then Lenny sent Suzy with a camera crew to talk him down
But the Fixer pulled a gun on air and stuck it into Suzy's mouth
He played a video of Lenny cheating live on air then shot himself
With a .38 special after wishing Lenny's hitman well
Then Lenny lost the station and his reputation went to rest
In an undisclosed location wearing slippers and a bulletproof vest
(In an undisclosed location wearing slippers and a bulletproof vest)
In an undisclosed location wearing slippers and a bulletproof vest
