Show Don’t Tell

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... Show...don't tell... (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) 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 (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) (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

Tough times demand tough talk Demand tough hearts demand tough songs Demand... We can rise and fall like empires Flow in and out like the tide Be vain and smart, humble and dumb We can hit and miss like pride Just like pride We can circle around like hurricanes Dance and dream like lovers Attack the day like birds of prey Or scavengers under cover Chorus Look in -- to the eye of the storm Look out -- for the force without form Look around -- at the sight and the sound Look in look out look around... We can move with savage grace To the rhythms of the night Cool and remote like dancing girls In the heat of the beat and the lights We can wear the rose of romance An air of joie de vivre Too-tender hearts upon our sleeves Or skin as thick as thieves' Thick as theives'.... Chorus
