Roger McNamee has written a new song: "Thoughts and Prayers" ... dedicated to the victims of gun violence.

Thoughts & Prayers
Words and music by Roger McNamee

News alerts cut through the noise
Bodies broken like fragile toys
Shooters rule another day (while)
Politicians say it’s time to pray

Every day another story
Images both sad and gory
Bullets rule another day (while)
Politicians say it’s time to pray

Chorus
Take your thoughts and prayers
And scatter them across the sea
If thoughts and prayers are all you have
Then stay away from me
Stay away from me ….

Legislators love their guns
In courtrooms gats have mostly won
Ninety people killed each day (while)
Politicians say it’s time to pray

We’re only safe when packing heat
In schools and churches, on the street
The handiwork of the NRA (while)
Politicians say it’s time to pray

Chorus

Bridge
Orlando, Blacksburg, Newtown, DeKalb
Tucson, Red Lake, Charleston, and Flint
Roseburg, Oakland, Santa Monica
Aurora, Columbine, and every town we love

Second bridge
The time has come
The time has come
The time has come to stand and fight
Not getting shot is a human right
Join us and make a stand
Stand up and hold my hand
Together we’ll make a stand
Stand to be free
