Thoughts and Prayers

Politician, can't you answer? We're dying in the gutters you offer us a prayer Whispers in the wind while They watch more constituents meet their end Your hollow words seem so absurd To families ripped apart by crisis You offer no solace Your obvious negligence eclipses your thinly veiled selfishness Not your problem you don't care Feel no responsibility for this despair You offer nothing but thoughts and prayers You offer nothing but thoughts and prayers You feel a sense of perverted justice That the lower classes somehow deserve this The lower classes somehow deserve this As the population drowns in poison You prepare and angle for position We sink into an abyss of alienation and loneliness Spin the story any way you can Absolve your guilt of the mess we're in Scum sucking motherfucker You offer nothing but thoughts and prayers
