Thoughts and Prayers

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 woulda "Ooh"

Maybe I would have 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 burdens more than yours to bear

But ego's on my side

Am I as good as I say if I tried?

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 them

'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

There's still 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'd 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?

Uh-uh, we try, we try, we try

Do we try, do we try, do we try, do we try?

Is it ever good enough?

We try, we try, we try, we try

Am I as good as I say if I try?
