[Intro]
\nLadies and gentlemen…
\nWatch closely.
\nThey’re moving very fast…
\nJust don’t ask where they’re going!
\n(Surely… it can’t last?)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nGot a question, change the subject
\nGot a fact, they try to duck it
\nMake a promise, make a fuss
\nThen explain it’s not about us<\/p>\n
Twist a phrase and turn it ’round
\nKeep the truth from being found
\nTalk in circles, take a bow
\nWhat’s the question anyhow?<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nA little shuffle
\n(A little spin)
\nNever answer
\n(Just grin, grin, grin!)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nAt any chance…
\n(Watch ’em dance)
\nAround the details<\/p>\n
Forget “like snails”
\n(They double-time)
\nTo the rhythm of the rhyme<\/p>\n
Their stance:
\n(Dance!)
\nAround the details<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nCherry-pick a little here
\nLeave the inconvenient facts unclear
\nMove the goalposts down the line
\nCall it evidence, call it fine
\nWhen the details start to bite
\nChange the subject overnight<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nSpin that story
\n(One more time)
\nHide the answer
\n(Inside the rhyme)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nAt any chance…
\n(Watch ’em dance)
\nAround the details<\/p>\n
Forget “like snails”
\n(They double-time)
\nTo the rhythm of the rhyme<\/p>\n
Their stance:
\n(Dance!)
\nAround the details<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nWhat’s the date?
\n(That’s not the issue!)
\nWhat’s the source?
\n(Why should we miss you?)<\/p>\n
Show the work!
\n(That’s too much trouble!)
\nCheck the facts!
\n(We’ll make them double!)<\/p>\n
Where’s the proof?
\n(Just trust the sound!)
\nWho said that?
\n(The word goes ’round!)<\/p>\n
No straight answer
\n(No clear trail)
\nJust another
\n(Dance routine for sale!)<\/p>\n
Question! (Answer!)
\nFact check! (Can’t you?)
\nEvidence! (Show it!)
\nTruth now! (Know it!)<\/p>\n
Left! (Right!)
\nSpin! (Twirl!)
\nDance around
\n(The whole wide world!)<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nAt any chance…
\n(Watch ’em dance)
\nAround the details<\/p>\n
Forget “like snails”
\n(They double-time)
\nTo the rhythm of the rhyme<\/p>\n
Their stance:
\n(Dance!)
\nAround the details<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nOne step forward…
\n(Two steps back!)
\nOne fact missing…
\n(That’s their track!)<\/p>\n
Round and round
\n(They never fail)
\nTo dance around…
\n(The details!)<\/p>\n
Don’t be a jerk…
\nShow your work!
\n(Don’t dance around!)
\nSolid proof is sound<\/p>\n
