On my TV, violent images flash across my screen
world of hate, staring at the rise in murder rate
I can't believe what we've [bad word] Is all hope lost to everyone?
battered wife waits for us to hear
Her screams tonight
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 [bad word] our lives
Still we all refuse to see the signs
 [bad word] gang, teaches all the kids to act insane
Religious right, is buying up guns for a [bad word] of a fight
Another victim lies in pain
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 [bad word] our lives
Still we all refuse to see the signs
Why? Why? Why?
