Gossip or be gossiped

Spreading lies about people you pass
You follow people around
Friendships crumble beneath your grasp
When your work is done you spread to new ground

But all you do is laugh and laugh
As you wander through the crowds
If you can't make it through you form a new path
Always disguised under lie filled shrouds

It's hard to get away when you follow
You leave people sobbing and crying
and others are left in the bathroom to wallow
Others are left convincing others that they are lies, well trying

But all you do is laugh and laugh
At the people struggling to find safe ground
And the people running from your grasp
At the people in despair all around

These people have nowhere safe to go
To escape your evilness
All they can do is insist, "no, no"
Their self-esteem growing less and less

But someday, someday
Those hurt will be avenged
In our own way we'll get revenge

Then you'll be the talk around the town
We'll be talking and laughing about you
We'll bring you down

You'll have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You'll try to say to say that we have lied
But no one will believe you
And there's nothing you can do
