lyrics

17

Seventeen innocent children die
Seventeen broken mothers cry
And all the politicians sigh
As they offer
Thoughts and prayers

Political bribes
Ensure nothing changes
Officials bought and paid
While children face the dangers

Seventeen innocent victims
Are just seventeen hopeless symptoms
Of the NRA control mission
Of the entire political system

Seventeen innocent children dead
While soulless politicians talk
And no matter what is said
The gunmen always stalk

‘til

Another seventeen children die
Another seventeen mothers cry
And once again the politicians sigh
As they offer
Thoughts and prayers
