[Intro]
\n[Light Funk Guitar, Bass Groove, Snare Rim Clicks]
\nUh-huh\u2026
\nReally now?
\nTell me more\u2026
\n(More than before)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nStanding there with knowing eyes
\nActing like it\u2019s no surprise
\nEvery word already guessed
\nLike you\u2019ve passed some secret test
\nNodding slow, like you\u2019ve been told
\nStories newer, somehow old
\nBut I\u2019m hearing this for the first time
\nTryin\u2019 to catch the punchline<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nYou lean in like it\u2019s breaking news
\nBut I\u2019m just trying to choose
\nIf I should laugh or play along
\nTo this \u201ctruth\u201d that feels so wrong<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nOh, is that so
\n(You don’t say)
\nWhoa, I didn’t know
\n(You don’t say)
\nFunny how it comes and goes
\n(You don’t say)
\nLike everybody else supposed
\n(You don’t say)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nWhat’d he say
\n(He didn’t say)
\nDay after day
\n(He doesn’t say)
\nLost in what they claim to know
\n(But nobody saw it go)
\nRound and round the same clich\u00e9
\n(You don’t say)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nRumors dressed up as advice
\nRecycled truth, overpriced
\nEveryone\u2019s an expert now
\nOn when, where, who, and how
\nBut when I ask for something clear
\nIt disappears into the air
\nSuddenly no one was there
\nOr nobody will swear<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nFunny how it all depends
\nOn who retells it to their friends
\nSame old story, slightly bent
\nBy the time it\u2019s re-presented<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nOh, is that so
\n(You don’t say)
\nWhoa, I didn’t know
\n(You don’t say)
\nBreaking news that\u2019s overplayed
\n(You don’t say)
\nLike it\u2019s something freshly made
\n(You don’t say)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nWhat’d he say
\n(He didn’t say)
\nDay after day
\n(He doesn’t say)
\nEverybody\u2019s got a way
\n(To misquote what they convey)
\nTruth just slips and walks away
\n(You don’t say)<\/p>\n
[Bridge \u2013 Minimal Groove, Spoken\/Mocking Tone]
\nOh really?
\nYou don\u2019t say\u2026
\nNo, I would\u2019ve never guessed\u2026
\nAmazing how that gets expressed\u2026<\/p>\n
[Breakdown \u2013 Bass-Driven, Half-Time Beat]
\nSay it again\u2026
\nBut different\u2026
\nChange the end\u2026
\nIt\u2019s distant\u2026<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus \u2013 Full Band, Bright but Sarcastic Energy]
\nOh, is that so
\n(You don’t say)
\nWhoa, I didn’t know
\n(You don’t say)
\nEverything is hearsay
\n(You don’t say)
\nBut it\u2019s gospel every day
\n(You don’t say)<\/p>\n
[Outro \u2013 Fading Groove, Repeated Whispered Hook]
\nYou don\u2019t say\u2026
\nYou don\u2019t say\u2026
\nFunny how it goes that way\u2026<\/p>\n
