Slander Lyrics

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
