The music to this would be angry and folk pop rock like Neil Young’s Southern Man.
Thoughts And Prayers
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
another day another mass death
it’s all too much I fret
how many is it today I wonder
how many young children torn from their mothers
but the NRA and Donald Trump
look at the color of the shooter and decide
if they take away rights for all or say
thoughts and prayers
is all they can give
thoughts and prayers
to say such a thing
in my view
is a sin
thoughts and prayers
are what they want us to say
they’re so afraid of the NRA
and the score they’ll get
they don’t care how many more die
they don’t care about it at all
when are we going to resist
when are going to stop to think
that this can’t go on forever
it all makes me want to drink
but until we address the problem
it’s all going to stink
thoughts and prayers
is all they can give
thoughts and prayers
to say such a thing
in my view
is a sin
[bridge]
I can see a future
one without guns
one where we love one another
it’s shouldn’t be that big a problem
where’s the rub?
I worry that we’re all doomed
doomed to die
at the hand of a gun
because we refuse to do anything
but I’ve got to have hope
thoughts and prayers
is all they can give
thoughts and prayers
to say such a thing
in my view
is a sin
thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers
thoughts and prayers
