Thoughts and Prayers

Hello stranger, the girl's in danger

But you won't fight hard enough to save her

Said it ain't your issue 'cause it ain't your sister

It ain't your missus

You don't get it do ya?

'Cause if that were me I would've, ooh

Maybe I would've thought for a second

And said maybe I shouldn't

There's blood on my hands after all, oh God

There's blood on my hands after all

Bow my head, said my prayers

I'm the good one, ain't I?

Wash my hands of all my sins

I'm the good guy, ain't I?

If everyone were like me

Could that be the change I'd like to see?

Ain't I good?

Ain't I right?

Did I try?

But if I care

I'd give more than thoughts and prayers

The burden's more than yours to bear

But ego's on my side

Am I as good as I say if I try?

Do we try, we try, we try?

Do we try, we try, we try?

Hello partner, the world's got problems

But you won't work hard enough to solve 'em

'Cause you hate Christians and you hate Muslims

And you might kill over race and colour

If that happened to someone that I knew

Then I would've probably laughed at his race jokes when I shouldn't

'Cause there's blood on my hands after all

'Cause there's blood on my hands after all

Bow my head, said my prayers

I'm the good one, ain't I?

Wash my hands of all my sins

I'm the good guy, ain't I?

If everyone were like me

Could that be the change I'd like to see?

Ain't I good?

Ain't I right?

Did I try?

But if I care

I'd give more than thoughts and prayers

The burden's more than yours to bear

But ego's on my side

Am I as good as I say if I won't try?

We try, we try, we try (Do we try?)

We try, we try, we try (Is it ever good enough?)

We try, we try, we try

Am I as good as I say if I try?

Bow my head, said my prayers

Wash my hands of all my sins

(I'd wash it off, I'd wash it off, yeah)

Ooh (Ooh yeah)
