Killing Time
On my TV
Violent images flash across my screen
A world of hate
Staring at the rise in murder rate
I can't believe what we've become
Is all hope lost to everyone?
A battered wife
Waits for us to hear her screams tonight
A child of war
Wonders what we're all fighting for
I look and think how can this be?
What causes all our suffering?
Eyes wide open we can't see
I can't understand it's out of hand
To me we're all just killing time
Killing time
Killing time, we're ruining our lives
Still we all refuse to see the signs
A ruthless gang
Teaches all the kids to act insane
Religious right
Is buyin' up guns for a hell of a fight
Another victim lies in pain
A serial killer waits for fame
Have we all gone so insane?
Well I can't understand it's out of hand
To me we're all just killing time
Killing time
I can't believe there's got to be
Some way to break through
I think that I, will have to try
Or I'll lose my mind
We're all killing time
Killing time
Killing time, we're ruining our lives
Still we all refuse to see the signs
Why?
Why?
Why?
Violent images flash across my screen
A world of hate
Staring at the rise in murder rate
I can't believe what we've become
Is all hope lost to everyone?
A battered wife
Waits for us to hear her screams tonight
A child of war
Wonders what we're all fighting for
I look and think how can this be?
What causes all our suffering?
Eyes wide open we can't see
I can't understand it's out of hand
To me we're all just killing time
Killing time
Killing time, we're ruining our lives
Still we all refuse to see the signs
A ruthless gang
Teaches all the kids to act insane
Religious right
Is buyin' up guns for a hell of a fight
Another victim lies in pain
A serial killer waits for fame
Have we all gone so insane?
Well I can't understand it's out of hand
To me we're all just killing time
Killing time
I can't believe there's got to be
Some way to break through
I think that I, will have to try
Or I'll lose my mind
We're all killing time
Killing time
Killing time, we're ruining our lives
Still we all refuse to see the signs
Why?
Why?
Why?
