Written by：Jon Mohr

Now 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

Because there ain't nothing sacred

At the rumormill

I said the rumormill

The people that work there are all volunteers

Their only qualification is a mouth and two big ears

If the story's not clear enough that's OK

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

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

As long as folks are listening they'll keep shoveling dirt

At the rumormill at the rumormill

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

Because there ain't nothing sacred

At the rumormill

I said the rumormill

And you're factoring lies

Where the truth is disguised

Where reputations are crushed

Where nothing is untouched

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

Because there ain't nothing sacred

At the rumormill the rumormill

Now listen my children to this warning I make

You know we've got a lot to lose there's a lot in a stake

The bible plainly states we're gonna reap what we sow

And we'll be shown mercy by the mercy we show

So shut your mouth and ask your friends to kindly do the same

For you'll wind up as victim with no one else to blame

At the rumormill oh the rumormill

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

Because there ain't nothing sacred

At the rumormill at the rumormill at the rumormill
