[Gaither Vocal Band - Rumormill lyrics]
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 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
The only qualification is a mouth
And two big ears
If the story's not clear enough, that's OK
They'll just doctor it up and then
Send it on it's way
It doesn't matter who's involved or
Who it is gonna hurt
As long as folks are listening
They'll keep shoveling dirt at the rumormill
The rumormill
(The rumormill) Manufacturing lies!
(The rumormill) Where the truth is disguised!
(The rumormill) Where reputations
Are crushed!
(The rumormill) Where nothing is hushed!
Now listen, my children
To this warning I make
We'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
Or you'll wind up a victim with no
One else to blame at the rumormill
Rumormill, rumormill, rumormill
The rumormill
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 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
The only qualification is a mouth
And two big ears
If the story's not clear enough, that's OK
They'll just doctor it up and then
Send it on it's way
It doesn't matter who's involved or
Who it is gonna hurt
As long as folks are listening
They'll keep shoveling dirt at the rumormill
The rumormill
(The rumormill) Manufacturing lies!
(The rumormill) Where the truth is disguised!
(The rumormill) Where reputations
Are crushed!
(The rumormill) Where nothing is hushed!
Now listen, my children
To this warning I make
We'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
Or you'll wind up a victim with no
One else to blame at the rumormill
Rumormill, rumormill, rumormill
