I see so little hope in you   With so much despair   As I look in your eyes I wonder   What thoughts linger there      Life means nothing to you   At least that's what they say   But it doesn't mean that   You have the right to take life away      How were we to know   What was going on inside your mind   You never let it show   What was going on behind      Those killer's eyes   Killer's eyes      You've seen your picture in the paper   You're little sister's pinned it on the wall   She thinks you're in some kind of movie   Imagine her surprise when she saw you on the news   Reporters came around and asked for interviews      So little compassion, so icy cool   They say you were a poor boy, you know that life can be cruel   Hate builds up from childhood, your world was a slum   But you haven't got the right to blow it   To kingdom come      How could we know   What it was like inside a killer's mind   It never really showed   You kept the secret deep inside      Those killer's eyes   Killer's eyes      You say the world is full of bullshit   So you kill just as you see fit   They say that you're a fanatic with a mission   We all go through Hell in some kind of way   Can you tell me what it's like to be there every day?      When you were young you had a vision   Why'd you go and do a thing like that?   And now we see you on the television   Imagine our surprise when we saw you on the news   And reporters came around and asked for interviews      I see so little hope in you   So much despair   As I look in your eyes I wonder   What thoughts linger there      Life means nothing to you   At least that's what they say   But it doesn't mean that   You have the right to take life away      When you were just a child   You'd hide away when other children cried   But how were we to know   These tears that flowed were from a killer's eyes      I see so little hope in you   So much despair   As I look in your eyes I wonder   What thoughts linger there      Life means nothing to you   At least that's what they say   But it doesn't mean that   You have the right to take life away      Those killer's eyes   See the whites of their eyes   Those killer's eyes   See the whites of their eyes
