Killing Time

On my tv, violent actions race 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 bettered 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 running our lives
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'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, I'll lose my mind
We're all killing time
Why?
