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
