Mr. President, do you have a minute? Yeah, what is it, Mr. Secretary? I have this friend He's quite a guy He's in a bit of a bind and he needs advice How can I help Not me, this friend, it's a friend All right He's in the public eye Well, did something wrong And he paid the price, expensive price Made a mistake in his personal life And now it's bleeding over into the professional His enemies are said to strike With news that's suited to a church confessional What they think they know Isn't what happened and they know I know They won't stop until the world turns upside down So this friend? Yup Did he break the law? No sir, what he did was private And no one saw, no one saw, no one saw Then your friend Should just move on Don't respond, stay quiet until these men are gone But he can't just not respond, these men Whisper again and again until his reputation's in the mud These men, these envious venomous men Won't let go the scent till they taste blood But do they need to know? If he's really done nothing wrong It doesn't matter if The world turns upside down Oh down Damned if I do and if I don't But I won't be accused of financial impropriety (I don't see how) They can take away what I say If I say it first they can make it worse with their rank, false piety People will make fun of this But I can get in front of this I can take the pain and shame But I will clear my name I will show them all in the end And your, friend? Yeah, me and my friend He's come too far for them to drag him through the dirt Well I don't know your friend But I know you're MY friend Alexander, be careful who you hurt, who you hurt, who you hurt Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it Who you hurt Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it Who you hurt Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it Who you hurt Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it
