Now the world is gettin' 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 rumor on the corner   But it's always been denied   'Cause they don't want you any wiser   You're just toein' 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 changin' 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 readin' 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   Through the windows I'm looking out   You'll never get bad information   If you believe in the word of mouth
