Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a fraction too much friction
There's a fraction too much friction
There's a fraction too much friction
Yeah, yeah, there's a fraction too much friction
[Verse 2]
Take a typical man, put him
With a typical woman, then
Sit back and watch everything slide
It's a perfectly natural
Expression of ill will but
When will hostilities subside?
[Verse 3]
There's a fraction too much friction
There's a fraction too much friction, yeah
Don't believe in opposing factions
What we need is some positive action
There's a fraction too much friction
Yeah, oh, yeah
[Verse 4]
It's a very old problem that
Goes back to the Dark Ages
The wages of original sin
Let's make it a better world
Let's shake it up, boys and girls
It's never too late to begin
[Verse 5]
There's a fraction too much friction
There's a fraction too much friction, yeah
Men and women need each other
Should be like sister and brother
There's a fraction too much friction, yeah
Oh, yeah
[Verse 6]
Lookin' for a man who will love his woman
Lookin' for a woman who will love her man
Lookin' for a man who will love his woman
Lookin' for a woman who will love her man
[Verse 7]
I swallowed my pride for you
My personal highs bore you
You're too wrapped up in your own world
I'm not a man for nothin'
I gotta become someone
Inside this oyster there's a pearl
[Verse 8]
There's a fraction too much friction
There's a fraction too much friction, yeah
Holdin' on to the bygone era
Everybody shout 'cause we're gettin' nearer
There's a fraction too much friction, yeah
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
[Verse 9]
What we need is some positive action
What we need is some positive thought, yeah
