lyrics

Another Monday in America
When a mom in Tennessee
Turns on the television to check the lottery

Then she saw an ambulance, right down the street
From where her baby was safely sleeping

An angry mom took the microphone live on Fox News
She said she already lived it twice now and there's more we gotta to do
And all the folks at the Capitol, they'll send out a single tweet

And when those thoughts and prayers
Arrive on the scene
They never do anything
When the thoughts and prayers arrive at the scene
They never do anything
Do something

The talking head on T.V. said we'll be back at nine with more
Didn't say that it was gonna repeat for the rest of our lives
The gun lobby and the GOP think money is worth more than babies leaving school alive

Now they're using troopers to kick out Moms for holding signs
And everybody's shouting that there's no sides
But all the folks in the Capitol in D.C. don't seem to care

Because when those thoughts and prayers arrive on the scene
They never do anything
When the thoughts and prayers arrive at the scene
They never do anything
Do something
