Now the world is getting 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

There's a rumour on the corner But it's always been denied Cause they don't want you any wiser You're just toeing the party line

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

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 changing fast

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

You don't believe the information You don't believe it when it's denied So when you're reading explanations You have to read between the lines

From the west side to the east side Through the windows I'm looking out You'll never get bad information If you believe in the word of mouth
