Lyrics

[Verse 1]
"I think we're just out of time"
Said the officer to the kid
Ahmed, almost fifteen and handcuffed
[Verse 2]
He was just building his own sense of time
He was just building time
[Verse 3]
One of many
[Verse 4]
But comfort says we're fine
And Angela said to open the door
Money, it seems, needs its working class
Money, it seems, needs its working class
[Verse 5]
We are just waiting
For the old folks, for the old folks to die
We are just waiting
For the old folks to die
[Verse 6]
Just killing time
Just killing time
[Verse 7]
Just killing time
Just killing time
Just killing time
[Verse 8]
Just killing time
