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?
