The Lowdown

Dark secrets, faint whispers
All runnin' through my head
People livin' in glass houses
Talkin' 'bout what everyone said
A little gossip here, a little rumour there
And now it's fake news instead
What is true
What is false
Time to put those rumours to bed

Give me the lowdown
Give me the lowdown

Thieves and liars in the shadows
Tryin' to get ahead
And they'll take you for all you've got
And leave you for dead
Truth or dare, cat and mouse
Their hunger must be fed
So you've gotta watch your back when you play the game
If you're gonna sleep in your own bed

Give me the lowdown
Give me the lowdown

The temptation to raise our station
Is so inbred
One-up the man on your left and your right
And have the nicest homestead
But greed is not a need that we should feel the need to heed
The logic of the lost and misled
Help your fellow man have the best day that he can
Well rested, well watered, well fed

Give me the lowdown
Give me the lowdown
Give me the lowdown
Give me the lowdown
