Lyrics and translation Rush - Show Don't Tell

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)
Give the jury direction
(Based)
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 pick it up, it's yours
(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
(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)

Montre, ne raconte pas

Combien de fois l'entends-tu ?
Ça dure toute la journée
Tout le monde sait tout
Et personne ne se trompe jamais
Jusqu'à plus tard

Qui peux-tu croire ?
C'est difficile de jouer la sécurité
Mais à part quelques bons amis
On ne prend rien pour argent comptant
Jusqu'à plus tard

Montre
(Montre)
Ne raconte pas
(Ne raconte pas)

(Montre-moi, ne me raconte pas)
Tu as compris le score
(Montre-moi, ne me raconte pas)
J'ai déjà entendu tout ça
(Montre-moi, ne me raconte pas)
Je me fiche de ce que tu dis
(Montre-moi, ne me raconte pas)

Tu peux tordre les perceptions
La réalité ne bougera pas
Tu peux élever des objections
Je serai le juge
Et le jury

Je vais y réfléchir
En regardant de la clôture
(Donne des instructions au jury)
Donne des instructions au jury
(Basé)
Basé sur les preuves
Je, le jury

Montre
(Montre)
Ne raconte pas
(Ne raconte pas)

(Montre-moi, ne me raconte pas)
Hé, silence dans la salle
(Montre-moi, ne me raconte pas)
Essayons de faire court
(Montre-moi, ne me raconte pas)
Assez de tes exigences
(Montre-moi, ne me raconte pas)
Le témoin prend la parole
(Montre-moi, ne me raconte pas)

Montre

Hé, silence dans la salle

Essayons de faire court

Je me fiche de ce que tu dis
(Montre-moi, ne me raconte pas)

Regardons la pièce à conviction A
(Montre-moi, ne me raconte pas)
Tu la prends, elle est à toi
(Montre-moi, ne me raconte pas)
J'ai déjà entendu tout ça
(Montre-moi, ne me raconte pas)
Assez de tes exigences
