Roll up the history books, burn the chairs
Gulingkan buku-buku sejarah, bakar kursi-kursi
Set fire to anything, set fire to the air
Atur api ke apapun, nyalakan api
They're hiding
Mereka bersembunyi
to begin and running at the end
 untuk memulai dan berlari di akhir
'Cause mama said, you take your life in your hands
Karena mama berkata, kamu bunuh hidupmu di tanganmu

Taking your life, your life in your hands
Mengambil hidupmu, hidupmu di tanganmu
But don't take your life in your hands like I did
Tapi jangan mengambil hidup Anda di tangan Anda seperti saya
I don't feel so bad, and always look forward with hope
Saya tidak merasa sangat buruk, dan selalu menantikan harapan
Forward and hope that the children will always be there
Teruskan dan semoga anak-anak akan selalu ada di sana

Cancel the day, cancel the night
Batalkan hari, batalkan malam
Cancel the day, cancel the night
Batalkan hari, batalkan malam
'Cause who could be watching when she steals and runs away
Karena siapa yang bisa menonton saat dia mencuri dan melarikan diri
Full of hysterical laughter, and say
Penuh tawa histeris, dan katakan

Mama, mama
Mama, mama
I've left school today
Aku sudah meninggalkan sekolah hari ini
I hope I get to see you in that funny school far away
Kuharap aku bisa melihatmu di sekolah lucu itu jauh sekali
But those gentlemen in blue, and those in grey
Tapi pria-pria itu berwarna biru, dan mereka yang abu-abu
Say I'll never, never see mama again
Katakan aku tidak akan pernah, tidak pernah melihat mama lagi

'Cause she took those lives in her hands
Karena dia mengambil nyawa di tangannya
Yes, she took all those lives in her hands
Ya, dia mengambil semua nyawa di tangannya
Yes, she took all those lives in her hands
Ya, dia mengambil semua nyawa di tangannya
But let me wonder, what was there left in those hands?
Tapi biarkan aku bertanya-tanya, apa yang tersisa di tangan itu?
