No Thoughts, No Prayers

Written By Keith Allison

No thoughts, no prayers

For the racist homophobe

Dying by the gun

 

Dying by the gun

The American motto

Dog-tagged on backpacks

 

Dog-tagged on backpacks

Scattered along the hallway

While school children cry

 

While school children cry

America embraces

The weapons of death


The weapons of death

Hit a bigot in the neck

Now you want my tears

 

Now you want my tears

But I’ve got nothing to give

No thoughts, no prayers
