Thoughts And Prayers

(album: Untidy Soul - 2022)

Hello stranger
The girls in danger
But you won't fight hard enough to save her
Said it ain't your issue
Cos it ain't your sister
It ain't your missus
You don't get it do ya
Cos if that were me I would of 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
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
Said the burdens more than yours to bear
But egos on my side
Am I as good as I say if I try

Do we try
We try
We try oh
We try
Do we try

Hello partner
The worlds got problems
But you won't work hard enough to solve them
Cos 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
Cos there's blood on my hands after all
Blood on my hands after all

Say 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
Oh I'd give more than thoughts and prayers
I said the burdens more than yours to bear
Oh but egos on my side
Am I as good as I say if I try

Oh do we try
Do we try
Do we try oh

Do we try
Sing do we try
Do we try
Am I as good as I say if I won't try

Oh bow my head said my prayers (Oh-no-no-no-no-no)
(Wash my hands of all my sins)
Said I'd wash it off, I'd wash it off yeah
Oo-oo-yeah
Oh-oh
Ohhh
Dubie-doot-doot-doot-doot-uh
Oh-no-no-no
