Show Don’t Tell Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How many times do you hear it?
It goes on all day long
Everyone knows everything
And no one's ever wrong
Until later…
Who can you believe?
It's hard to play it safe
But apart from a few good friends
We don't take anything on faith
Until later!

[Pre-Chorus]
Show, don't tell

[Chorus 1]
(Show me, don't tell me)
You've figured out the score
(Show me, don't tell me)
I've heard it all before
(Show me, don't tell me)
I don't care what you say
(Show me, don't tell me)

[Verse 2]
You can twist perceptions
Reality won't budge
You can raise objections
I will be the judge
And the jury
I'll give it due reflection
Watching from the fence
Give the jury direction
Based on the evidence
I, the jury

[Pre-Chorus]
Show, don't tell

[Chorus 2]
(Show me, don't tell me)
Hey, order in the court
(Show me, don't tell me)
Let's try to keep it short
(Show me, don't tell me)
Enough of your demands
(Show me, don't tell me)
Witness take the stand
(Show me, don't tell me)

[Instrumental Bridge]

Show, don't tell
Show, don't tell

[Chorus 3]
(Show me, don't tell me)
Hey, order in the court
(Show me, don't tell me)
Let's try to keep it short
(Show me, don't tell me)
I don't care what you say
(Show me, don't tell me)
Let's see exhibit A
(Show me, don't tell me)
You've figured out the score
(Show me, don't tell me)
I've heard it all before
(Show me, don't tell me)
Enough of your demands
(Show me, don't tell me)
Witness take the stand
