They pass back and forth across the backyard fence
Sometimes well meaning but mostly make no sense
They have such amazing power and seem so real
And no one seems to care how they make you feel
There sting is worse than that of any killer bee
Why people feel the need I can't really see
Sharper than a sword piercing thru one's heart
The lips that spread them have done their part
The destroyer of lives is here for all to see
Just a few small words can destroy a family
This town thrives on a fools need to know
Have you heard the lastest about so and so
I pray the Lord will open peoples eyes
Turn them to the truth instead of the lies
Lips spreading rumours are the devils tool
Separate yourself from the words of a fool
