Thoughts and Prayers Lyrics by Samm Henshaw
Hello stranger, the girl’s in danger
But you won’t fight hard enough to save her
Said it ain’t your issue ’cause it ain’t your sister
It ain’t your missus
You don’t get it do ya?
‘Cause if that were me I would’ve, ooh
Maybe I would’ve thought for a second
And said maybe I shouldn’t
There’s blood on my hands after all, oh God
There’s blood on my hands after all
Bow my head, said my prayers
I’m the good one, ain’t I?
Wash my hands of all my sins
I’m the good guy, ain’t I?
If everyone were like me
Could that be the change I’d like to see?
Ain’t I good?
Ain’t I right?
Did I try?
But if I care
I’d give more than thoughts and prayers
The burden’s more than yours to bear
But ego’s on my side
Am I as good as I say if I try?
Do we try, we try, we try?
Do we try, we try, we try?
Hello partner, the world’s got problems
But you won’t work hard enough to solve ’em
‘Cause you hate Christians and you hate Muslims
And you might kill over race and colour
If that happened to someone that I knew
Then I would’ve probably laughed at his race jokes when I shouldn’t
‘Cause there’s blood on my hands after all
‘Cause there’s blood on my hands after all
Bow my head, said my prayers
I’m the good one, ain’t I?
Wash my hands of all my sins
I’m the good guy, ain’t I?
If everyone were like me
Could that be the change I’d like to see?
Ain’t I good?
Ain’t I right?
Did I try?
But if I care
I’d give more than thoughts and prayers
The burden’s more than yours to bear
But ego’s on my side
Am I as good as I say if I won’t try?
We try, we try, we try (Do we try?)
We try, we try, we try (Is it ever good enough?)
We try, we try, we try
Am I as good as I say if I try?
Bow my head, said my prayers
Wash my hands of all my sins
(I’d wash it off, I’d wash it off, yeah)
Ooh (Ooh yeah)
