The word is out, heads are talkin'

And just like a fire ragin' wild in the night

The rumors hot, the room is rockin'

It's out of control, too vicious to fight

Two lovers split, a heart is shattered

And out of revenge it steals through the night

Making sure the lies are scattered

To every border of this town tonight



The word's on the street

You call it truth, I call it slander

Times are tough, talk is cheap

Soon they'll talk about you, slander



The jury splits, undecided

They're searching for clues

My life in their hands

The hour has come, they stand divided

The future shall judge the good and the bad



And now, there's talk on the street

I call it slander

I will fight this somehow

Revenge will be sweet

Slander, like a knife in my heart, slander

Slander, gonna keep us apart, slander

Slander, there’s talk on the street

Slander, revenge will be sweet

Slander, I'm ready to fight

Slander, I will find it tonight



Slander, like a knife in my heart, slander

Slander, gonna keep us apart, slander

Slander, there's talk on the street

Slander, revenge will be sweet

Slander, too vicious to fight

Slander, wild in the night

Slander, Slander, Slander
