Rumor Mill

Let me tell you a story about a local enterprise

There's one in every town, no matter what its size

It doesn't turn a profit, or bring in any revenue

It's good for one thing and that's the damage it'll do

It's called...

Chorus:

The rumor mill

Oh yeah, the rumor mill

If it can be twisted, you can be sure that it will

'Cause there ain't nothing sacred, none at all

At the rumor mill, the rumor mill

The people that work there are all volunteers

The only qualification is a mouth and two big ears

If the story's not clear enough, well that's ok

They'll just doctor it up and then send it on its way

It doesn't matter who's involved or who it is gonna hurt

As long as folks are listening they'll keep shovlin' dirt at

Repeat Chorus

The rumor mill, manufacturing lies

The rumor mill, where the truth is disguised

The rumor mill, where reputations are crushed

The rumor mill, and where nothing is hushed

If it can be twisted, you can be sure that it will

'Cause there ain't nothing sacred, none at all

At the rumor mill, oh yeah, the rumor mill

Now you listen my children to this warning I make

You've got a lot to lose, there's a lot here at 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 (So shut your mouth and ask your friends to kindly do the same)

Or you'll wind up a victim with no one else to blame

Repeat Chorus

Oh yeah, the rumor mill (x3)

At the rumor mill
