Lyrics
no thoughts
no prayers
can bring back whats no longer there
the silent
are damned
the body count is on your hands
smile for the camera
another politician bought
i swear i heard another shot
cash another payment
red all on the canvas
it’s murder on the campus
another press conference
nothing gets accomplished
the suit is an accomplice
money is the motive
the war is in the street
watch history repeat
no thoughts
no prayers
can bring back whats no longer there
the silent
are damned
the body count is on your hands
no thoughts
no prayers
can bring back whats no longer there
the silent
are damned
the body count is on your hands
they lobby for the violence
it’s a governmental shakedown
welcome to my breakdown
bulletproof backpacks
they wanna arm the teachers
i think i saw the reaper
fear is good for profit
deregulate the casket
they’re lying to the masses
how much will it take
till you get buried in the coffin that you make heavens sake
no thoughts
no prayers
can bring back whats no longer there
the silent
are damned
the body count is on your hands
no thoughts
no prayers
can bring back whats no longer there
the silent
are damned
the body count is on your hands
turn off all the lights
no body make a sound
ashes to ashes
we all fall down
are we out of time
can we turn this all around
are we out of time
will we all fall
all fall down
-
on your hands, on your
on your hands, on your hands
no thoughts (no thoughts)
no prayers (no prayers)
no thoughts (no thoughts)
the body count is on your hands
no thoughts (no thoughts)
no prayers (no prayers)
no thoughts (no thoughts)
the body count is on your hands

@@kylarthekitty6627 cool thought. Except if the butter knife was the lead weapon used in mass killings, maybe we'd work harder to make sure kids, possible terrorists, and the mentally ill couldn't get them. We do need to invest more in education and mental health, but you can't pretend that guns don't make shooters more effective murderers.

That's true Dema! All the more reason to support and listen to grandson's songs.

Just recently a gun threat was placed on my school. Just recently was the kid taken in for making the threat. Just recently I realised that I could've been shot by a classmate and friend.

[@c.a.9903]

Crazy world out there. Glad they caught the kid before he did any damage.

[@plokijum]

Unlikely Story Fun fact. I was stabbed by a stranger when I was shopping in town. NOWHERE IS SAFE. good night💕

[@bmil38]

what's really scary is that my school is out 15 minutes away from any civilization... if something ever happens, we have a resource officer and a sentinel... that's it... if they go, we have no way to fight fire with fire until the big guns show up which could take 10+ minutes from the first call...

[@hersheyysss]

Just two or three weeks ago, this lady came to my state and threatened to shoot up a school near the northern side of my state, I lived near the southern part so I was lucky. But the fact that students and teachers could've lost their lives haunt me. The lady shot herself as the cops were looking for her, she wasn't good news, but it makes me sad that someone still lost their life, and what her family would've thought.

[@coopierre]

Most kids my age don't realize that this ISN'T normal, if you were able to ask a 12 year old to name the last 5 shootings they probably couldn't name them because theres been so many. Now MY town is on the list, my home, my friends, or maybe yours. My generation is our only hope, we NEED to change this. No Thoughts No Prayers, Can Bring Back What's No Longer There.

Bro, school shootings and that shit can be solved in America so just leave that shit away from Europe

[@star-ew3qu]

This song unlike several others, has meaning. Songs like this should be the ones on the radio. Not the songs without meaning. But sadly songs like this are underrated.

[@plokijum]

Why can’t we enjoy this song as much as I like listening to desiinger have seizure on mic.

[@jelliedpanda914]

also, the radios dont want to play any political songs and so just avoid it. I k n o w.

[@haydenlaceyfilms]

It would be great to hear this song played, but due to it being so political I doubt it would ever be on the radio. I remember a few years back when they were playing "Spirits" on the radio and due to a recent shooting the song had to be changed from "guns in my head" to "dreams in my head" which defeated the meaning of the song

[@80official20]

Nah this song is above the radio standards

[@jacewilder9268]

I remember the video of them doing this at a protest and i just ughdkdkdkrke chills. This song empowers me and inspired me to actually currently writing a law outline for tennessee gun laws bc our death toll by gun is 1111 and our toll by firearm suicide is 676

[@novamber88]

Wait they performed this song???? Do you have the video

[@Th3Hood3dOn3]

I don't want to turn grandsons'video into a political debate but how will writing more gun laws make criminals follow them? Aren't they already breaking several laws when they decide to shoot somebody. Also the state's with the least amount of gun crimes are states with the least strict laws and allow concealed carry permits. Just food for thought.

Hey just wondering if the protest that they played this song at was in Tennessee cause I live there and wanted to know if it was near my area.
