Rumor Town

I write a story for every place that I go Read it or don't It's true And in this plot that I write I won't make up the names God help those I scathe Now I'm Well on my way To a town of confusion Of terror and blame A new round, the same game Bet on lies And words are their debts That they write off each year When confronted by it And the questions they hate Am I an enemy now And as I drive down The roads of Rumor Town They turn their heads And stick their noses up Like they know What is she doing here Where did she come from Who let her drive right by and down The roads of Rumor Town Rumor, Rumor, Rumor Town Rumor, Rumor Town Rumor, Rumor, Rumor Town Rumor, Rumor Town They unwelcome me With their cold shoulders and backs Turned away as they chat Oh am I a celebrity now But who said that I needed To hear what you say No, not the story I chase But the one your hide on your face In a page turning article Readers will find How they all mastermind These rumors To steal, cheat and frame As these endless confessions And statements were made I recorded in case Their day of reckoning came And as I drive down The roads of Rumor Town They turn their heads And stick their noses up Like they know What is she doing here Where did she come from Who let her drive right by and down The roads of Rumor Town And as I drive right by and down The roads of rumor rumor They turn their heads and stick their Noses up like they know What is she doing here Where did she come from Who let her drive right by and down The roads of Rumor town Who let her drive right by and down The roads of Rumor town Who let her drive right by and down The roads of Rumor town
