Rumormill - Gaither Vocal Band

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 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

(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
