Disarray
Everything in disarray
A piece of gossip puts your life on display
Now you scramble to cram it back in the mold
Of what society deems okay
Word of mouth changes things in youth
It keeps people from having to face the truth
Instead they spread rumors about people they don’t even know
Have you ever made such a low blow?
We all have at some point, no doubt
But it’s clearly not something to joke about
Just wait until it happens to you
Just that once, and for forever you'll be through
Everything in disarray
A piece of gossip puts your life on display
And now you scramble to cram it back in the mold
Of what society deems okay
Sometimes life scatters like leaves in the breeze,
Or townsfolk desperately escaping a disease
And you have to run around to sew back the pieces
And fight to iron out all of the creases
Then once everything's settled again
Your little cousin jumps in your neat leaf pile
Like not having a steering wheel for the upcoming bend
But you know you just can't blame that child
Everything in disarray
A piece of gossip puts your life on display
And now you scramble to cram it back in the mold
Of what society deems okay
