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 Ruining our lives Still we all refuse to see the signs
A ruthless gang, teaches all the 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 so insane? 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 Ruining our lives Still we all refuse to see the signs Why? Why? Why?
