Thoughts & Prayers

Another politician sitting far away

Doesn't matter how many got gunned down today

As long as you can keep your reelection bills paid

You're just a whore to the guild that's called the NRA

They tell you how to vote and they sell you all their lies

And we watch as common sense just slowly dies

And now you got blood on your hands, oh but you don't care

You just sit back and send out your thoughts and prayers

Thoughts and prayers

Thoughts and prayers

Don't give a damn about your thoughts and prayers

It's just spit and wind flying around in the air

Why don't you do your job up there

And keep your thoughts and prayers

Momma crying because the baby won't come home

You tell the father that you're sorry that his son is gone

While you sit and do nothing in that big white dome

And just hope we all forget to care

But you could have done something and we all wish that you would

To prove to the world you had one tiny ounce of good

But you'll blame somebody else for all this despair

And not do a thing but offer up your thoughts and prayers

Thoughts and prayers

Thoughts and prayers

Don't give a damn about your thoughts and prayers

It's just spit and wind flying around in the air

Why don't you do your job up there

And keep your thoughts and prayers

Someday when time finally takes its toll

And your maker comes to call his final row

I hope he'll close up the gates and send you straight to hell

For the truth that you knew but got paid not to tell

And you'll, beg and you'll cry "Lord don't send me down there!"

"The devil made me do it," you'll say "I'm sorry I swear!"

And God will just laugh and tell you "I don't care."

Send you to the fire with just his thoughts and prayers

Thoughts and prayers

Thoughts and prayers

Don't give a damn about your thoughts and prayers

It's just spit and wind flying around in the air

Why don't you do your job up there

And keep your thoughts and prayers
