Killing Time Lyrics

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
Eyse 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 kids to act insane
Religious right - is buying up guns for a hell of a fight
Another victim lies in pain -
A serial killer waits for fame
Have we all gone insane?
I can't understand it - 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
Why?
