Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When the carnage was over, you could hear the cell phones ringing
You could smell gun powder in the air
And on the bloody ground, the LED's were blinking
"Deliver us from evil, thoughts and prayers"
[Verse 2]
They're lined up on the playground
Their hands all in the air
We see it on our news feed 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
[Verse 3]
Thoughts and prayers
Thoughts and prayers
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Thoughts and prayers
Thoughts and prayers
[Verse 6]
Glory Hallelujah! You are in our thoughts and prayers
Glory Hallelujah! You are in our thoughts and prayers
[Verse 7]
The Flat Earthers 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 come down to close the deal
[Verse 8]
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
Purp walk them down the capital steps, show them how it feels
Tramp the dirt down, Jesus, you can pray the rod they'll spare
And stick it up your ass with your useless thoughts and prayers
Stick it up your ass with your useless thoughts and prayers
[Verse 9]
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
