Well, let me tell you a story 'bout a local enterprise

There's one in every town, no matter what its size

It doesn't turn a profit or bring in any revenue

It's good for one thing, and that's the damage it'll do

It's called the rumor mill

Called the rumor mill

If it can be twisted, you can be sure that it will

'Cause there ain't nothin' sacred

At the rumor mill

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 okay

They just doctor it up and then send it on its way

It doesn't matter who's involved or who it's gonna hurt

As long as folks are listenin', they'll keep shovelin' dirt

At the rumor mill

At the rumor mill

If it can be twisted, you can be sure that it will

'Cause there ain't nothin' sacred

At the rumor mill

The rumor mill

(Rumor mill) Manufacturing lies

(Rumor mill) The truth gets disguised

(Rumor mill) Where reputations are crushed

(Rumor mill) Where nothin' gets hushed

If it can be twisted, you can be sure that it will

'Cause there ain't nothin' sacred

At the rumor mill

The rumor mill

Now listen, my children, to this warnin' I make

We 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 rumor mill

Oh, the rumor mill

If it can be twisted, you can be sure that it will

'Cause there ain't nothin' sacred

At the rumor mill

The rumor mill
