Everybody's going somewhere   See how they stand in line   All complaining their lives are unfair   Too bad for them, too bad for mine      (It's the killing time)   From now till then   (Killing time)   Not knowing when   They're watching me, I'm watching them   Standing by the empty mine   (Killing time)      It's a killing time I know it well   Killing time, until the bell   Too late to change, too soon to tell   And in between, the killing time   (Killing time)   Giving me Hell      Up above the stars still shine   Through the poverty and grime   Of the empty streets below   Killing time, nowhere to go   (Killing time)      Tell me, brother what's the plan?   Will I be a working man?   And occupy my idle mind   Or kill the time I knew so well   (Killing time)   Giving me Hell      Still I can smile at what I see   Soap Operas full of vanity   So much wealth and property   Side by side with petty crime      Is that all life's meant to be?   Commercials full of luxuries   A man has one, a cat has nine   And in between it's killing time   (Killing time)      It's a killing time   I know it well   Too late to change   Too soon to tell   Still I can smile at what I find   Waiting round and killing time      Bite the bullet, help me through it   These lunatics will take my mind   Why can't life be more sublime?      Than all of this waste and killing time   (Killing time)   I know it well   (Killing time)   It's the killing time   (Killing time)   (Killing time)
