Lyrics

More kids gunned down today, in pools of blood they lay
They're never going home, now their parents live alone
and you say it's too soon to try and stop this
but it's ok, cuz you sent thoughts and prayers
But thoughts and prayers, won't bring them back
and no amount of wishing, will set this world on track
Time to put up or just shut up
Time to practice what you preach
Cuz love's much more than praying, and it's never out of reach
When one coast catches fire
And the other nearly drowns
Or any other tragedy comes rolling into town,
I see you're always there
To do your saintly rounds
And it's ok
Cuz you sent thoughts and prayers
But thoughts and prayers, won't bring them back
and no amount of wishing, will set this world on track
Don't leave your fate in the hands of a god
Why would you trust anyone
Who made a world, so, flawed
Children die,
You do nothing
Thoughts and prayers won't fix this
Species die
You do nothing
Thoughts and prayers won't fix this
This world dies
You do nothing
Thoughts and prayers won't fix this
This world dies
And god does nothing
Nothing
Thoughts and prayers won't fix this
And all around the world there's protests
And people trying to
Fix what's broken
Cuz we all know it
Flood waters of
Inequality
(Thoughts and prayers won't fix this)
Are crashing on our heads
The faces of the dead
(Thoughts and prayers won't fix this)
Swim up to call us out and ask us
Why we haven't bled
(Thoughts and prayers won't fix this)
Why'd they have to, be the victims
Of all these systems
Racism,
Sexism
(Thoughts and prayers won't fix this)
Capitalism
State repression
All serve hegemony
But you say you don't want to talk about it
But it's ok, cuz you sent thoughts and prayers
