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 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 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

Killing time
Killing time
Killing time, ruining our lives
Still we all refuse to see the signs

Why?
