thoughts & prayers - grandson

(No thoughts, no prayers)

(Can't bring back what's no longer there)

(The silent are damned)

(The body count is on your hands)

Smile for the camera

Another politician bought

I swear I heard another shot

Cash another payment

Red all on the canvas

It's murder on the campus

Another press conference

Nothing gets accomplished

The suit is an accomplice

Money is the motive

The war is in the street

Watch history repeat

No thoughts and no prayers

Can't bring back what's no longer there

The silent are damned

The body count is on your hands

No thoughts, no prayers

Can't bring back what's no longer there

The silent are damned

The body count is on your hands

No thoughts, no prayers

Can't bring back what's no longer there

The silent are damned

The body count is on your hands

They lobby for the violence

It's a governmental shakedown

Welcome to my breakdown

Bulletproof backpacks

They wanna arm the teachers

I think I saw the reaper

Fear's good for profit

Deregulate the casket

They're lyin' to the masses

How much will it take

'Til you get buried in the coffin that you make?

Heaven's sake

No thoughts, and no prayers

Can't bring back what's no longer there

The silent are damned

The body count is on your hands

No thoughts, no prayers

Can't bring back what's no longer there

The silent are damned

The body count is on your hands

No thoughts, no prayers

Can't bring back what's no longer there

The silent are damned

The body count is on your hands

Turn off all the lights, nobody make a sound

Ashes to ashes, we all fall down

Are we out of time?

Can we turn this all around?

Are we out of time?

Will we all fall?

(We all fall down)

The body count is on your hands

The body count is on your hands

No thoughts (no thoughts)

No prayers (no prayers)

No thoughts (no thoughts)

The body count is on your hands

No thoughts (no thoughts)

No prayers (no prayers)

No thoughts (no thoughts)

The body count is on your hands (on your hands)
