Thoughts and Prayers

When the carnage was over you could hear the cellphones ringing

You could smell gunpowder in the air

On the bloody ground the LEDs were blinking

Deliver us from evil, thoughts and prayers

They're lined up on the playground, their hands all in the air

See it on our newsfeed and we cry out in despair

They're counting up the casualties, everyone's choosing sides

There's always someone to blame, never anywhere to hide

Thoughts and prayers

Thoughts and prayers

This white noise in my head, I think I need a filter

A pressure valve to keep from blowing up

And when the shit comes down I pray I can rise above it

Hold me closer when I've had enough

Thoughts and prayers

Thoughts and prayers

Glory, hallelujah

You are in our thoughts and prayers

Glory, hallelujah

You are in our thoughts and prayers

The Flat Earthist realized as he flew through the skies

The curve of the horizon as he fell

He saw the world was round just before he hit the ground

And gravity called out to close the deal

When my children's eyes look at me and they ask me to explain

It hurts me that I have to look away

The powers that be are in for shame and comeuppance

When Generation Lockdown has their day

They'll throw the bums all out and drain the swamp for real

Perp walk them down the Capitol steps and show them how it feels

Tramp the dirt down, Jesus, you can pray the rod they'll spare

Stick it up your ass with your useless thoughts and prayers

Stick it up your ass with your useless thoughts and prayers

Glory, hallelujah

You are in our thoughts and prayers

Glory, hallelujah

You are in our thoughts and prayers

Glory, hallelujah

You are in our thoughts and prayers
