Some Friend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Loyalty is easy when you're king
Doesn't matter who's around to bring
Some friend you turned out to be
Looking cool, but anyone can see
That you don't know where you're going to
But I have some idea
Kowtow to everybody's whims
That's what'll finally do you in
Some friend you turned out to be
Looking cool, but anyone can see
That you don't know where you're going to
But I have some idea
Sorry, but I've got a train to catch
Gonna leave you and your schemes to hatch
Some friend you turned out to be
Looking cool, but anyone can see
That you don't know where you're going to
But I have some idea
