Gaither Vocal Band - Rumormill lyrics

[Verse 1: John Mohr] 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 [Bridge] If it can be twisted, you can be sure that it will Cause there ain't nothing sacred at the rumormill [Verse 2: John Mohr] 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 its 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 [Bridge] (The rumormill) Manufacturing lies! (The rumormill) Where the truth is disguised! (The rumormill) Where reputations are crushed! (The rumormill) Where nothing is hushed! [Bridge] [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge]
