Now the world is getting older
Theres a few things to be said
Do you believe the things they told you
Do you believe the things youve read

Theres a rumour on the corner
But its always been denied
Cause they dont want you any wiser
Youre just toeing the party line

From the west side to the east side
From the north side to the south
Youll 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
Youll never get bad information
If you believe in the word of mouth

You dont believe the information
You dont believe it when its denied
So when youre reading explanations
You have to read between the lines

From the west side to the east side
Through the windows Im looking out
Youll never get bad information
If you believe in the word of mouth
