Hey, did you hear about 'em?
Rumours on the street? you got 'em
Little birdie whispering in your ear
They say, it burns when the words are spoken
Communication lines broken and so
You turn your back so they find their place
Fly away
Break those chains (break the chains, break the chains)
Don't be afraid
Of what they'll say (don't be afraid)
They're going to say it anyway
Word on the street rumour going round
Little birdie flying all over town
Be careful who you meet
Allegedly they've found
That juicy little detail just to tear you down
Word on the street
Rumour going round
That little birdie flying all over town
Word on the street
Rumour going round
And round
Fly away
Break those chains (break the chains, break the chains)
Don't be afraid of what they'll say (don't be afraid)
Fly away
Be the change (be the change)
Don't be afraid of what they'll say (don't be afraid)
Oh, they're going to say it anyway
Hey did you hear about 'em?
Rumours on the street going round and round and round
