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 (Show) Don't tell (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 (Show) Don't tell (Don't tell)

(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 (Show) don't tell (Don't tell)

Show (Show) don't tell (Don't tell)

(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
