Verse 1
Bb
See that long line of people who
keep standing in the rain
F
Bb
Lookin' tired, gettin' cold
Eb
Bb
And that signal light they're waiting for,
don't ever seem to chang
F
Bb
Killing time, ain't it slow.
Eb
Bb
Watch them bending with the burden
of the pennies that they save
F
Bb
Marking time, growin' old
Slowly marching by the numbers
to the freedom of the grave
F
Bb
Killing time, ain't it slow
F
That's the closest thing to living that
Bb
they're ever gonna know
F
And their good times ain't no
Bb
better than their bad
'Cause they think they need a signal
light to tell them they can go
F
Bb
F
Bb
Killing time, ain't it sad.
F
Bb
Don't feel sorry for those people
who keep standing in the rain
They don't mind,
F
Bb
they don't know
'Cause it never crossed their minds
they got a reason to complain
F
Bb
Killing time, ain't it slow.
F
They're not haunted by the visions
Bb
that they never dared to see
F
And they'll never miss the dreams
Bb
they've never had
They're condemned to go
on living in a penitentiary
F
For killing time, ain't it sad.
