Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now the world is gettin' older
There's a few things to be said
Do you believe the things they told you?
Do you believe the things you've read?
[Verse 2]
There's a rumor on the corner
But it's always been denied
'Cause they don't want you any wiser
You're just toein' the party line
[Verse 3]
From the West side to the East side
From the North side to the South
You'll never get bad information
If you believe in the word of mouth
[Verse 4]
Look out for those who still want to hang on
Look out for those who live in the past
Get out and listen to the whisper
Because the times are changin' fast
[Verse 5]
From the West side to the East side
From the North side to the South
You'll never get bad information
If you believe in the word of mouth
[Verse 6]
You don't believe that information
You don't believe it when it's denied
So when you're readin' explanations
You have to read between the lines
[Verse 7]
From the West side to the East side
Through the windows, I'm lookin' out
You'll never get bad information
If you believe in the word of mouth
[Verse 8]
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na (Na na na) na na na
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na
[Verse 9]
From the West side to the East side
Through the windows, I'm lookin' out
(From the North side to the South)
(You'll never get bad information) You'll never get bad information
(If you believe in) The word of mouth
[Verse 10]
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na (Sing it out, yeah)
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na
[Verse 11]
From the West side to the East side
