Thoughts and Prayers

Lyrics

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
 "We. Have had. Enough... I mean. ENOUGH."
 They call it the price of freedom
 But it's just the freedom to kill
 And if guns don't kill their families
 They probably always will
 Now how did the price of freedom
 Become higher than human lives?
 Here's an idea, while we hold our breath
 Till gun control arrives:
 Let's ban guns
 And if people get mad
 We'll send them our "thoughts and prayers"
 That's the go to thing
 While guns are king
 From politicians puttin' on airs
 'Cause if thoughts and prayers
 Are good enough
 For those who've lost beloved ones
 They're good enough
 For all those people who've
 Lost their guns
 Thoughts and prayers
 Thoughts and prayers
 Turnin' the table now, my friend
 'Cause there's too many empty chairs!
 Each time there's another shooting
 DC's numb to the tragic loss
 Are we just supposed to turn our heads
 When we, the people, are boss?
 For Parkland, Sandy Hook, Columbine
 Our hearts are flying half-mast
 Let's form a band, take matters in hand
 And get legislation passed
 Hey, let's ban guns
 And if people get mad
 We'll send them our "thoughts and prayers"
 That's the go to thing
 While guns are king
 From politicians puttin' on airs
 'Cause if thoughts and prayers
 Are good enough
 For those who've lost beloved ones
 They're good enough
 For all those people who've
 Lost their guns
 And, DC, we'll Tweet our sympathy
 To all your pious puppets of the NRA
 Then we're gonna vote those cowards out
 And, America, have no doubt
 We'll gonna make it a safer, better, brighter day!
 Thoughts and prayers
 Thoughts and prayers
 Turnin' the table now, my friend
 'Cause there's too many empty chairs
 Thoughts and prayers
 Thoughts and prayers
 Feeling the pull to keep each chair full
 Nothin' against prayin'
 But I'm just sayin'
 It's life we stand for
 So we've gotta give more
 Than only thoughts and prayers
 "We need a lot more than"
 Thoughts and prayers
