The Rumor Lyrics

by Glenn Shorrock

It started off by word of mouth,
moving fast on the wind,
it went all through the suburbs, the north, the south,
and when it finnaly got back to him,
it was larger than life,
it was older than time,
it was all that you need,
all of a sudden we changed overnight,
but the people couldn't see the wood for the trees.

Go and tell your mother,
pass it on to a friend,
leave it all to your brother,
start the rumor again,
start the rumor again.
Selling more than sliced bread, honey,
bigger than Ben-Hur,
what you gonna do with all that money,
send it on back to her,
reap the harvest, sow the seed,
that's what the good book says,
starve the truth and feed the rumor,
and your imagination's gonna do the rest.

Go and tell your mother,
pass it on to a friend,
leave it all to your brother,
start the rumor again,
start the rumor again.
It was larger than life,
it was older than time,
it was all that you need,
all of a sudden we changed overnight,
but the people couldn't see the wood for the trees.

Go and tell your mother,
pass it on to a friend,
leave it all to your brother,
start the rumor again,
start the rumor again.
