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
