Thoughts and Prayers |
| When the carnage was over you could hear the cellphones ringing |
| You could smell gun powder in the air |
| On the bloody ground 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 news feed and we cry out in despair |
| They’re counting up the casualties and 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 |
| When the shit comes down, I pray I can rise above it |
| Hold me close when I’ve had enough |
| Thoughts and prayers |
| 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 |
| Throw the bums all out and drain that 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 |
| Glory Hallelujah, you are in our thoughts and prayers |
| Glory Hallelujah, you are in our thoughts and prayers |
