Suzie was a ventriloquist in a way
Turning everything on air into an expose
She'd drag your name through the dirt just for sport
And settle out of court
And her, her network boss would say
That we're, we're 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 7th 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 jet ski
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-flyers
Installed cameras in the bedrooms and an office in the Virgin Islands
But time's no friend of liars
Lenny's station syndicated worldwide 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
But then one night wound up alone at bunga bunga with the Fixer's wife
Then he'd, 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 Suzie on a day shift in the nail salon
She brought a glamour to the camera and a panoramic paranoia
Yeah, the networks 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 Suzie 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 blackmailed everybody with his bunga bunga videos
So then Lenny sent Suzie with a camera crew to talk him down
But the Fixer pulled a gun on air and stuck it into Suzie's mouth
He played a video of Lenny cheatin' live on air and shot himself
With a .38 Special after wishing Lenny's hitmen well
Then Lenny lost the station and his reputation went to rest
