Thoughts and Prayers

Death is all around us You may wish we’d spark a change But we never ever will Because we get nothing in exchange Children are dying during class We mandate that their there we cannot keep them safe But we can spare them thoughts and prayers This isn’t the time to talk solutions Wait tell the bodies are cold Of course by then there’ll be ten new bodies But this isn’t getting old You see my belief trump’s your children's lives Their death’s are the price we pay for freedom The freedom to take your children's lives Now Why won’t you stand for the anthem Your children are our currency We spent them all like fives For our need to kill things They will give their lives Changing things is just too darn hard So we’ll just sit up here Protected by bodyguards and armored cars And let you get murdered down there
