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 I

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

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
