Hello! Say what? Oh yeah? Too much.
|
What's new? What's up? I here you're messed up, in trouble, in pain
|
No need to explain - Expectation let you down
|
See yourself inside - When it gets real do you hide?
|
Can you face them or do they chase you down
|
How it could be and how it is - What it should be and what it is
|
Just another version of the big fat truth
|
Mind the gap, see the distance - It's the blueprint of resistance
|
Try to get your point across and it gets knocked back
|
Confrontation - static
|
Intimidation - panic
|
Eye to eye and wall to wall
|
Can you see what's here? Does it fill you with fear?
|
Can you keep your distance from what you hate?
|
Unbelievable, unreal, too shocked to feel
|
Look out! Mind the gap!
|
|
The truth ain't nothin' but the truth
|
|
Oh no! You don't say! They don't see it your way?
|
In the dark everyone was just like you
|
Now you're mad, uptight because the world's not right
|
You don't think and it makes you sad
|
Attitude affected, your way - rejected
|
Stupidity to get you through
|
Check out the gap that's all around you
|
Try to get close, it astounds you
|
How these people can be so relentlessly cold
|
|
Too easy, so blind. Too tough to be kind
|
Man, you're like some guy in a comic book
|
Get real, pull your head out
|
Get up, and get the lead out
|
Man, I know you can do better than that
|
Yeah you could stay away from arms length away from life
|
But it takes strength to get up close and go all the way live
|
Bridge the gap, take the first step
|
The more you go, the more you get
|
Down with the program and on with the show
|
|
The truth ain't nothin' but the truth
|
