Killin' Time Lyrics - Singles - Db Shapiro

Johnny and Nicky were brothers in arms, killin time at the local arcade 

Shooting at Zombies till the screen turned red and loving the noise it made. 

Johnny wore a silk bandana, a birthday gift from his girl 

And on Nickys arm was a tattoo saying, I was born to raise hell! 

And they were two kids on their own 

Free as the naked wind 

And they felt fine 

They were just Killin Time 

On the same day that he turned eighteen, Johnny joined the Corps 

And as soon as Nicky heard the news, he signed up for a tour 

Johnny got his M-16, boots and a combat vest 

And he put a picture of his girl in the pocket on his chest 

And they were two kids on their own 

Free as the naked wind 

And they felt fine 

They were just Killin Time 

Three months later they were Semper Fi 

Whoo-Ah baby aint afraid to die 

Johnny and Nicky got their fight 

Freezing in the Afghan night 

Theyre ready for Killin Time 

Nicky said, Johnny did you see that? I blew that Dude away 

And as he squinted in the sunlight, it was the last thing he would say 

Johnny went home with a Purple Heart. He caught a bullet too. 

Now he sits around playing video games. 

Shooting at Zombies till the screen turns red 

Pointing that toy gun at his head 

And thinking that he might be better off dead 

And they were two kids on their own 

Free as the naked wind 

And they felt fine 

They were just Killin Time
