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 believ 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?
