B C#7
I see so little hope in you, With so much despair
E E B
As I look in your eyes I wonder what thoughts linger there
B C#7
Life means nothing to you, At least that's what they say
E B
But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away
C#m G#m
How were we to know, What was going on inside your mind
C#m
You never let it show, What was going on behind
B C#7 E B
.............. Those killer's eyes
B C#7 E B
Killer's eyes
E B
You've seen your picture in the paper
C#m
You're little sister's pinned it on the wall
E B
She thinks you're in some kind of movie
C#m
Imagine her surprise, when she saw you on the news
Reporters came around and asked for interviews
B C#7
So little compassion, so icy cool
E B
They say you were a poor boy, you know that life can be cruel
B C#7
Hate builds up from childhood, your world was a slum
E B
But you haven't got the right to blow it to kingdom come
C#m G#m
How could we know, What it was like inside a killer's mind
C#m
It never really showed, You kept the secret deep inside
B C#7 E B
.............. Those killer's eyes
B C#7 E B
Killer's eyes
B
You say the world is full of bullshit
C#7
So you kill just as you see fit
E B
They say that you're a fanatic with a mission
B C#7
We all go through Hell, in some kind of way
E B
Can you tell me what it's like to be there every day?
(actual song has a key change here)
E B
When you were young you had a vision
C#m
Why'd you go and do a thing like that?
E B
And now we see you on the television
C#m
Imagine our surprise, when we saw you on the news
And reporters came around and asked for interviews
B C#7
I see so little hope in you, So much despair
E B
As I look in your eyes I wonder what thoughts linger there
B C#7
Life means nothing to you, At least that's what they say
E B
But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away
C#m G#m
When you were just a child, You'd hide away when other children cried
C#m B
But how were we to know, These tears that flowed were from a killer's eyes
B C#7 E B
B C#7
I see so little hope in you, So much despair
E E B
As I look in your eyes I wonder, What thoughts linger there
B C#7
Life means nothing to you, At least that's what they say
E B
But it doesn't mean that you have the right to take life away
B C#7 E B
...........Those killer's eyes.........
B C#7 E B
See the whites of their eyes................
B C#7 E B
...........Those killer's eyes.........
B C#7 E
See the whites of their eyes........
