Will Hoge - Thoughts & Prayers lyrics

Another politician sittin' far away Doesn't matter how many got gunned down today As long as you can keep your re-election bills paid You're just a who*e to the guild that's called "The NRA" They tell you how to vote and they sell you all their lies And we watch as common sense just slowly dies And now you got blood on your hands, oh but you don't care You just sit back and send out your thoughts and prayers Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers Don't give a damn about your thoughts and prayers It's just spit and wind flyin' around in the air Why don't you do your job up there And keep your thoughts and prayers There's a momma cryin' 'cause the baby won't come home You tell a father that you're sorry that his son is gone While you sit and do nothin' in that big white dome And just hope we all forget to care But you could'a done somethin' and we all wish that you would To prove to the world you had one tiny ounce of good But you'll blame somebody else for all this despair And not do a thing but offer up your thoughts and prayers Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers Don't give a damn about your thoughts and prayers It's just spit and wind flyin' around in the air Why don't you do your job up there And keep your thoughts and prayers Someday when time finally takes its toll And your Maker comes to call his final role I hope he'll close up the gates and send you straight to hell For the truth that you knew but got paid not to tell And you'll beg and you'll cry: "Lord don't send me down there!" "The devil made me do it," you'll say, "I'm sorry, I swear!" And God will just laugh and tell you "I don't care" Send you to the fire with just his thoughts and prayers Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers Don't give a damn about your thoughts and prayers It's just spit and wind flyin' around in the air Why don't you do your job up there And keep your thoughts and prayers Keep your thoughts and prayers Keep your thoughts and your prayers
