When does this senseless gun violence end? Each time this happens there is outrage - makes me sick to say 'each time this happens' - ENOUGH!
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS - NO MATCH FOR A LOADED GUN
Our thoughts and prayers - ain’t getting’ it done
They’re just no match - for a loaded gun
The NRA lobby - havin’ their way
Parents and children - gettin’ no say
Drivin’ the freeways - or a day at work
Watchin’ a movie - oh what danger lurks
A trip to the mall - or grocery store
Is any place really - that safe anymore
Our thoughts and prayers - ain’t getting’ it done
They’re just no match - for a loaded gun
What’s all the talk - about right to life
All this gun violence - cuts like a knife
Fight for the unborn - not kids in schools
Wonder who’s guiding - this ship of fools
Our thoughts and prayers - ain’t getting’ it done
They’re just no match - for a loaded gun
Spineless lawmakers - each woman and man
Time to clean house - vote for someone who can
Hear the voice of the people - fight the good fight
Cast out differences - and do what’s right
Our thoughts and prayers - ain’t getting’ it done
They’re just no match - for a loaded gun
The NRA lobby - havin’ their way
Parents and children - gettin’ no say
Our thoughts and our prayers ain’t getting it done
They're just no match - for a loaded gun
