Everybody's going somewhere See how they stand in line All complaining their lives are unfair Too bad for them, too bad for mine
(It's the killing time) From now till then (Killing time) Not knowing when They're watching me, I'm watching them Standing by the empty mine (Killing time)
It's a killing time I know it well Killing time, until the bell Too late to change, too soon to tell And in between, the killing time (Killing time) Giving me Hell
Up above the stars still shine Through the poverty and grime Of the empty streets below Killing time, nowhere to go (Killing time)
Tell me, brother what's the plan? Will I be a working man? And occupy my idle mind Or kill the time I knew so well (Killing time) Giving me Hell
Still I can smile at what I see Soap Operas full of vanity So much wealth and property Side by side with petty crime
Is that all life's meant to be? Commercials full of luxuries A man has one, a cat has nine And in between it's killing time (Killing time)
It's a killing time I know it well Too late to change Too soon to tell Still I can smile at what I find Waiting round and killing time
Bite the bullet, help me through it These lunatics will take my mind Why can't life be more sublime?
Than all of this waste and killing time (Killing time) I know it well (Killing time) It's the killing time (Killing time) (Killing time)
