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?
