Thoughts and Prayers (Sung with a hip-hop vibe)
Common sense gun laws will never happen, as long as the gun industry is tapped into our political system.
They give millions to a greedy party, who will then write laws to protect their profits.
That’s all it’s really about. Gobs of money and remaining in power. Not the Second Amendment. Stop kidding yourself.
“Profits before People” is their closed-door handshake.
No matter how horrific the tragedy was, it will eventually fade away in next-weeks news.
The lobbyist from the Gun industry has the balls of the GOP clamped tightly onto their money clips.
Thoughts and prayers. You’ve got my Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. You’ve got my Thoughts and prayers.
When you hear the NRA say, “Our rights are under attack”, what they really mean is, “Our millions in profits are under attack”.
When you hear the NRA say, “We are dedicated to securing the future of our freedom”, what they really mean is, “We are dedicated to securing the millions of dollars the gun industries make by preventing common sense gun laws”.
When you hear the NRA say, “We are the defenders of the 2nd amendment”, what they really mean is, “I will say whatever it takes to scare you into thinking they are coming to take away your guns.”
Thoughts and prayers. You’ve got my Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. You’ve got my Thoughts and prayers.
Keep your 1-shot musket handy…. cause 1791 was dandy. Times have changed and so do laws, why not the 2nd amendment clause?
Those gun lobbyists are killers and their industry is ruthless. They spent millions to help elect their favorite unqualified politician. Turn on them and your political career will be crushed. And now…
The gun industry is writing our laws on gun control and gun safety, and not our elected officials. Imagine that.
Thoughts and prayers. You’ve got my Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. You’ve got my Thoughts and prayers.
(Voice of a slimy corrupt politician rapping)
As your political representative, the only sensible thing to do is let the gun industry have more freedom.
Let’s prevent research on gun death statistics. Let’s allow psychotic crazy people to quickly purchase guns online or at tradeshows.
Let’s allow heavy-barrage war assault machine guns to flood our streets. Who cares if they are not permitted? Permits are for cars and fishing licenses.
I will also assure you that the Gun Industry does not control or influence me, HA!
Sure I will accept their millions. Cause hey, the school kids aren’t donating to my campaign.
I’ll have a fake yet very sincere look on my face after that school tragedy.
I’ll pretend to care when you express your grievances.
Not to worry, here’s how I’m going to fix it. Ready? “You’ve got my thoughts and prayers.”
Thoughts and prayers. You’ve got my Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. You’ve got my Thoughts and prayers.
Thoughts and prayers. You’ve got my Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. You’ve got my Thoughts and prayers.

(Songwriters note)
If your political candidate or active member in Congress accepts money from the NRA or gun industry then DON’T VOTE FOR THEM!
They’ve been financially influenced. Compromised.
This epidemic has a cure.
If we vote to take money out of politics, their billions will be silenced and their influence will be gone.
America wins.
