lyrics

Yet another mass shooting, something we're too used to saying
But I'm not impressed when all you suggest
Is platitudes or praying
You say again, the Second Amendment cannot be negated
But I want to shout you forgot about The phrase 'well-regulated'

I've had it with your 'moments of silence'
Spare us your thoughts and prayers
Cause if you won't do a thing then don't Pretend to be someone who cares
Your silence mocks the victims when there are laws you could enact
So no more prayers excpet the prayer to act

Security's tight now at airports
And god knows it's not much fun
So tell me why someone too scary to fly Can still go buy a gun
The NRA has the final say as gun companies make millions
But there's no reason for any weapons of war
To be sold anymore to civilians

I've had it with your 'moments of silence'
Spare us your thoughts and prayers
Don't wanna hear from those it's clear Are Gun lobby obeyers
Your silence mocks the victims when there are laws you could enact
So no more prayers excpet the prayer to act

And you don't get to euologize A community you demonize
We can see right through the lies
When hypocrites say they sympathize

So no more 'moments of silence'
Not another thought or prayer
How many more must die before We decide it's too much to bear
We won't let hate define us, but we cannot escape the fact
That our prayers don't mean a thing unless we act
So no more prayers except the prayer to act
