Lyrics Rumormill - Gaither Vocal Band

Rumormill

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
