lyrics

Thoughts and Prayers

It’s too early to react
But the children are under attack
Your mandate is to normalize
Criticize, don't politicize

Chorus
You have no morals, we need to stop it
You took the bribe to line your pocket
Shill for the guns that they sell
We all see that you are going to hell

Thoughts and Prayers-Thoughts and prayers
We all see that you don’t care
Thoughts and Prayers-Thoughts and prayers
We all see that you don’t care
(The NRA paid you’re share)

You sacrifice our sons and daughters
Off to school or off to slaughter?
What’s the number that must die?
“What can be done?” you parrot the lie

Chorus:

The mentally ill with killing tools
You could stop that you spineless fool
You have the means to protect the lambs
Instead you choose the blood on your hands

Chorus
