Rumormill Lyrics & Tabs by Gaither Vocal Band
Rumormill
guitar chords lyrics
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).
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).
