Well, let me tell you a story about a local enterprise, |
|
there's one in every town, no matter what it's size. |
|
It doesn't turn a profit or bring any revenue, |
|
it's good for one thing and that's the damage it'll do. |
|
It's called the rumormill (called the rumormill). |
|
If it can be twisted, you can be sure that it will, |
|
'cause there ain't nothing sacred ... |
|
... at the rumormill. |
|
The people that work there are all volunteers, |
|
their only qualification is a mouth and two big ears. |
|
If the story's not clear enough, that's OK, |
|
they just doctor it up and then send it on its way. |
|
It doesn't matter who's involved or who is gonna hurt, |
|
as long as folks are listening, they'll keep shoveling dirt ... |
|
... at the rumormill (at the rumormill). |
|
If it can be twisted, you can be sure that it will, |
|
'cause there ain't nothing sacred ... |
|
... at the rumormill (the rumormill). |
|
(Rumormill) And you're factoring lies! |
|
(Rumormill) The truth is disguised! |
|
(Rumormill) Where reputations are crushed ... |
|
(Rumormill) Where nothing is untouched ... |
|
If it can be twisted, you can be sure that it will, |
|
'cause there ain't nothing sacred ... |
|
... at the rumormill (the rumormill). |
|
Now listen, my children, to this warning I make, |
|
we've got a lot to lose, there's a lot in a stake. |
|
The Bible plainly states you're gonna reap what you sow, |
|
and you'll be shown mercy by the mercy you show. |
|
So shut your mouth and ask your friends to kindly do the same, |
|
for you'll wind up as victim with no one else to blame ... |
|
... at the rumormill (oh, the rumormill). |
|
If it can be twisted, you can be sure that it will, |
|
'cause there ain't nothing sacred ... |
|
... at the rumormill (the rumormill ... mmm, mmm ... the rumormill). |
