The music to this would be a homage to U2’s Love Is Blindness. Again, I’m just screwing around. I’m in the mood to tell stories in verse, so you get this. This should fade soon enough.
Thoughts & Prayers
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
thoughts and prayers
come and go don’t you know
they don’t mean anything anymore
they just stop progress it seems
they make it more difficult for us
more difficult for us to act
thoughts and prayers
there’s not much they can do
we’re all animals locked in a zoo
the powers that be
make us feel like sheep
when yet another child is struck dead
from a weapon bought by a manman
legally, legally, legally, legally
thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers
how do we stop the next killing
when all we do is offer, offer, offer
thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers
we need to act
need to do something for once
we have to believe in love
give hate a shove
our politicians are bought and paid for
it seems
when will we glean the truth
bring truth the sundlight
give us hope that is bright
thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers
how do we stop the next killing
when all we do is offer, offer, offer
thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers
[bridge]
just give me some hope
give me a chance
that this isn’t our last gasp
let’s grasp hope for once
and do more than offer
thoughts and prayers
we’re all in this together
you know it’s true
why can we move past
move past for once
thoughts and payers
thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers
