Gossip

Gossip is like poison,
Making trust and friendship bitter
Oh, do you know that ugly strange one?
I hear her boyfriend is no fitter.

Have you seen that weirdo fat girl?
Her hair is just a frizz
And did you see that odd girl’s new clothes?
Who does she think she is?

Gossip’s all around us,
It’s got underneath our skin
And by the way, on Friday night,
Who let that loser in?

Gossip is infectious
Who it hurts it doesn’t care
The pandemic’s been going so long now,
We hardly notice that it’s there

Instead of building others up,
We tear each other down.
Why can’t we build our friendships
On more loving, solid ground?
