Wise Man's Ear

Wise Man's Ear You said, “Did you hear?” I said, “Leave it there” I don’t feed that fire I just watch it expire Hurt people talk loud Throw words at the crowd You call that the truth? I just call it proof Gossip dies when it hits a wise man’s ear I don’t let your poison park inside my head, my dear Rumors spin circles, but they won’t land here Gossip dies when it hits a wise man’s ear (oh yeah) Gossip dies when it hits a wise man’s ear Haters light the match Fools pass the flame Idiots build a home Inside that shame I see how it spreads Jumping mouth to mouth I just close my door Let it starve in the drought (hey!) Gossip dies when it hits a wise man’s ear I don’t let your poison park inside my head, my dear Rumors spin circles, but they won’t land here Gossip dies when it hits a wise man’s ear (oh yeah) Gossip dies when it hits a wise man’s ear Ask yourself “Who gains from this?” Every little lie Signs with a twist I’d rather be quiet Than cruel for a laugh You can keep that chorus I’m cutting the track Gossip dies when it hits a wise man’s ear I don’t let your poison park inside my head, my dear Rumors spin circles, but they won’t land here Gossip dies when it hits a wise man’s ear (oh yeah) Gossip dies when it hits a wise man’s ear
