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
