A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
The seeds of distrust it will sow
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw
A neighbour was passing my garden one time
She stopped and I knew right away
That it was gossip not flowers she had on her mind
And this is what I heard my neighbour say
"That girl down the street should be run from our midst
She drinks and she talks quite a lot
She knows not to speak to my child nor to me"
My neighbour then smiled and I thought
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
The seeds of distrust it will sow
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw
A car sped by and the screaming of brakes
A sound that made my blood chill
For my neighbour's one child had been pulled from its path
And saved by a girl lying still
The child was unhurt and my neighbour cried out
"Oh who is that brave girl so sweet?"
I covered the crushed broken body and said
"The bad girl who lives down the street"
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
The seeds of distrust it will sow
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw
