Koroshiya - Thots and Prayers Lyrics

We can't predict the warnings so we ignore all the signs
Can't get it together so we change our minds
Wasn't made to be just a complicit statistic
Antisocial stubborn borderline misfit
All eyes dotted, contract read
Not a single one of us worth more alive than dead
Ain't a way to live, ain't a way to thrive
Send your kids to school and just hope they survive

Your thoughts and prayers are nice but they don't do a damned thing
They can't stop the bleeding or stifle the pain
You ignore suffering voices demanding a change
Praying to a god that measures up to twelve gauge

Vindictive, hard to kill, big shot with the iron will
Ridiculed, misunderstood, broken, weak manhood

Collecting empty shells off the sidewalk
Every passersby is too stunned to talk
They need this security, the faith like a rock
Nobody wants a concrete portrait outlined in chalk
They'll fight to uphold this fear and treasure it deep
While our nation is sowing what tomorrow we'll reap
I don't know the solution but we can't remain still
Your future has been sold and this not a drill

They dig graves to shield their fractured ego
Millimeters and might protected with a veto
Mass shootings equal mass profit
They yell step away from the law, keep your hands off it
It's our god given right to kill and accidentally protect
So every lunatic has the chance to become a suspect
This isn't progress, we're slowly going tribal
Keep your precious glock in a hollowed out bible
