My friend got lowered down
Now he's going down to hide what's right
And at the bottom he won't see me
'Cos I'm out of sight

I think he's in some trouble and I know why
He's looking for some punishment to decide
We used to be such buddies, but that's long gone
It all went wrong

And now he's lowered down
'Cos he's going down to hide what's right
And at the bottom he won't see me
'Cause I'm out of sight

He's tried to blame me, he's just overwrought
The ability to blame me is all he's got
I'm taking it in uncharacteristic stride
He's got his pride

Mispride, his pride
It takes him for a ride
With his tenants by his side
But that's not what he's there to hide

I think that he has suffered an unjust rap
But I'm not about to speak for him on his behalf
I know that he has seen that I've been through enough
I know that he's rough, but he's always been tough

And now he's lowered down
So he's going down to hide what's right
And at the bottom he won't see me
'Cos I'm out of sight

My friend got lowered down
Now he's going down to hide what's right
And at the bottom he won't see me
'Cos I'm out of sight
