We mind the gap you left here when you took our hope away
You said it wouldn't happen, but you let it anyway
There's bloodstains on the classroom walls
The corridors and lecture halls
Our children hide in bathroom stalls
And hope you'll go away
And how long till they all just fade away
And how long till you finally here us say, that
We mind the gap! - please
We mind the gap! - please
We mind the gap! - please
We mind the gap
We mind the silence that replaced the laughter in our lives
We mind the violence that erased our children and our wives
There's bloodstains in the concert halls
The offices and shopping malls
You tell us to ignore it all
And hope we'll go away
We're tired of all your murder and your war
And you can't even tell us what it's for
We mind the gap! - please
We mind the gap! - please
We mind the gap! - please
We mind the gap
And how long till you finally understand
And how long till you finally raise your hand
Mind the gap! - please
Mind the gap! - please
Mind the gap! - please
Mind the gap
