Will I be a working man?
Through the poverty and grime
Commercials full of luxuries
(Killing time)
Too bad for them, too bad for mine
From now till then
Is that all life's meant to be?

Giving me Hell
Waiting round and killing time

Why can't life be more sublime?
(Killing time)
And in between, the killing time
(Killing time)
(Killing time)
Than all of this waste and killing time
Standing by the empty mine
Too soon to tell
I know it well
It's the killing time
And in between it's killing time
A man has one, a cat has nine
Killing time, until the bell
Soap Operas full of vanity
Of the empty streets below

(Killing time)
(It's the killing time)
Up above the stars still shine
Killing time, nowhere to go
(Killing time)
Too late to change
And occupy my idle mind

Not knowing when
Giving me Hell
All complaining their lives are unfair

(Killing time)
Still I can smile at what I see
It's a killing time
Side by side with petty crime
I know it well
Too late to change, too soon to tell
Bite the bullet, help me through it

Tell me, brother what's the plan?
Or kill the time I knew so well
(Killing time)
It's a killing time I know it well
(Killing time)
(Killing time)
These lunatics will take my mind
So much wealth and property
Still I can smile at what I find
They're watching me, I'm watching them
