Killing Time Lyrics - Kinks

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 

Photos 

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 

It's the killing time
